Well, yeah, though luck... Amazon (the store) is entirely banned from my house.

It works, but it needs a bit of work. In particular, you need a router capable of redirecting all DNS call to the DNS you specify (Asus routers can do that, for instance). Moreover, one should also use a blocklist to forbid the connection to most common DoT/DoH public servers, such as

tl;dr It can be done and it's relatively easy, but one has to learn how to do it and choose proper tools (HW and SW).

I went from pihole, to Adguard Home to (finally) ControlD. I chose to eventually outsource the DNS because I was letting all family without connection when playing with my miniserver :-P

99.9% of all these "problems" can be solved by using an ablocker DNS and a couple of adb commands (on Android).

Couldn't care less. I don't use FB or Instagram.

I'm stupid. The domain was being blocked by the "newly register domains" filters on of ControlD DNS.

It may be a problem on my end, but the link doesn't work.
