Chromecast said "Not connected to the internet", rendering it unusuable.

I drop all external DNS (and DNS-over-TLS) requests on my network.

Google (along with Chinese IoT spyware, Samsung, and others) now try to use their hardcoded DNS servers.

My network now fools them all, they think they get a response from their DNS, but it's really my PiHole that answers! NAT + Masquerading FTW!

See the diagram for a simplified overview

BlockAds is a great FOSS android app (available on f-droid/Izzy)

it uses local filters to block ads, trackers + analytics, and more 🚱
i was surprised just how much stuff was being sent that BlockAds saved me from, even from some other FOSS apps 🙀

it's a must-install, i also reccomend setting it as an "always on" vpn in android settings too
