You can always set up a MITM on your network. But yeah, DNS filtering is doomed in the not so far future.
Does this preclude on device DNS filters?
I think it doesn't, though I'm not really a network guy.
I read through it, to me, it seems like on/device piHole etc. Would still be fine. But I am not a network guy either
PiHole might be a different story than your local device, I think that one might be affected.
That's an option, but its a lot of work and all you get in return is broken apps/websites and not being able to tell if someone is mitm-ing you mitm.
I'm sure some engineer out there is going to find a workaround, hopefully without breaking encryption.
Never had a broken website due to my own MITM.
