Thinking about it, if you’re willing to give up TLS 1.3, you could probably just break all https connections with encrypted SNI and then filter based on the SNI information.


Just to nitpick: TLS 1.3 still uses plaintext SNI by default. You need to explicitly put public keys in DNS to enable the encrypted SNI extension.

And in the context of pihole and such, avoiding that means editing the DNS response to remove those public keys. Which takes us full circle back to "do I control DNS for this gadget, or not".


Well, it’s easy to control the DNS if you can block DoH and VPNs: just have your router forward all traffic on port 53 to a resolver you control.
