  1. 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!
