Blocking DNS over HTTPS. Seems the only way is to fire a shotgun at it

@Raffi_
Yea, that "managed environment..." seems to work for domain aware devices. I imported their Active Directory settings into my home domain (Windows Server 2016), and it comes up as disabled by default on domain members. I did turn off the Chrome DNS function via their policy additions anyway (and disabled DOT in Firefox too using their extensions). I then turned my attention to the non-domain stuff so added a NAT redirect for 53 on my IOT VLAN to catch all the 53 to 8.8.8.8 and redirect to my DNS, and don't allow 853 to the internet. DOH from the non-domain-joined IOT was still an issue, so I just setup Lanna's suggestion of the two block lists and the local-zone setting.

This seems like a lot of work to stop software from doing something against my wishes. I was using DOT for a bit but decided I was still handing over my my browsing history to some company so I am just letting the router do the resolving to root servers now.

Feels like a cat and mouse game, or wack a mole...

Concur - its really no better than the spammer changing their tactics to find a way to get their spam to users through corp filtering.. Now its the likes of google and cloudflare.. We will get your users data someway, no matter what you say corp IT..

They really want to send us their data, honest they do because we told them you were spying on their dns.. You know on the network you own and run, and them using the device you gave them to work with.. They clearly need to be able to resolve shop.tld

Oh you don't really want that to happen corp IT.. Here

JUMP!

Anyway, TheGreatWall feeds are added to the latest version of pfBlockerNG-devel:

. . . and adding the following IP lists to the firewall as blocked aliases. . .

Trying to wrap my head around this one ...
Are you blocking everything to these IP's , or just 443 ??

Are you pointing the alias to the listfiles via this one ??

Thanx for doing this

I have setup my pfSense (unbound) to use (forward) all queries to use two Linux Bind9 servers i have locally (vlan100) , doing all the resolving.

They have to have "access to the root servers" UDP 53 , if i enable (dns) portforwarding on vlan 100 , can i make an exception for these two so they're not redirected ?

I'm already handing out pfSense IF as DNS via dhcp to clients , and blocking
53/853 to other(s). No UDP 53 portredirect yet.

I'm not that intertested in pfblocker-ng , i use Pihole (also vlan 100) for "scrubbing" my mobile devices.

So i suppose i have 4 local ip's i'd like to prevent from being redirected.

local DNS1 - A root server access
local DNS2 - A root server access

pihole - Allow dns from Phone vlan + Mmedia Vlan

Express-VPN ATV DNS - Allow dns to this one from my ATV's on Mmedia vlan

I am blocking all ports to those IPs, but adjust to your liking

That's right, I am using the URL Table option

Just to update this topic, setting the following in my resolver's custom options. . .
server:
local-zone: "use-application-dns.net" always_nxdomain
local-zone: "cloudflare-dns.com" static
. . . and adding the following IP lists to the firewall as blocked aliases. . .

https://public-dns.info/nameservers.txt

. . . completely hamstrings Firefox and Chrome's attempts to use DoH. I'm sure they will find new ways to screw with network admins, but for the time being, this appears to be highly effective, while keeping things pretty neat and tidy. This is what I am deploying on my production network.

NOTE: Anyone reading this, don't just throw this into your config and forget. You MUST also have the DNS redirects to your local resolver/forwarder in place first.

Just as an addition to the above, I've spent the last 24 hours playing around with DNSBL and I realised that with the BETA of 'Enable TLD' you can in fact just add those domains in a custom blacklist and every subdomain will be blocked there too. Probably neater for some setups.

I'm curious about how you have your NAT redirects set up. Are you port forwarding the packets destined to IP's (in the IP lists above) on port 443 back to pfSense's resolver?

Currently I have NAT port forwards to redirect all DNS requests to non-internal networks on ports 53 and 853 back to pfSense's resolver. I'm wondering if the ideas is to do the same with the DOH requests, or are you just blocking those request outright?

Lanna

@dma_pf I'm just redirecting ports like for like. DoH is just blackholed or rejected completely. If anyone tries to set their browser to use DoH only, they will get an ssl config error when trying to visit a website.

Just wanted to add this great resource (see the doc subdir)
https://github.com/jpgpi250/piholemanual

I snipped the url from here
https://forum.netgate.com/post/953474

He has made a neat PDF pfSense guide on how2 block DoH
https://github.com/jpgpi250/piholemanual/blob/master/doc/Block%20DOH%20with%20pfsense.pdf

Best is that he states in th pfSense PDF , that he is collecting/consolidating his list from the below "other" lists , and his lists are getting updated frequently.

I’ve searched and found several lists, containing references to DoH servers:
-

https: //raw.githubusercontent.com/Sekhan/TheGreatWall/master/TheGreatWall.txt
https: //raw.githubusercontent.com/oneoffdallas/dohservers/master/list.txt

https: //raw.githubusercontent.com/dibdot/DoH-IP-blocklists/master/doh-ipv6.txt
https: //raw.githubusercontent.com/crypt0rr/public-doh-servers/main/dns.list

He's doing a super job , and has some god PDF guides.

Edit:
Glad i used "floating rules" , as they use "openDNS w DoH" on my "work (from home) pc"
And guess what is in the list ....
I chose to remove DoH from my Guest/Inet-Only VLAN , where it's connected.
