Nothing big, but kinda interesting. I’m excited to see how this will go 👀

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

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.
