Firewall
Blocking DNS over HTTPS and DNS over TLS protocols is now available in firmware versions 4.4.0 and above.
More browsers use DNS over HTTPS (DoH) or DNS over TLS (DoT) with their own DNS servers for performing remote Domain Name System (DNS) resolution via the HTTPS/TLS protocol. This will result in the client bypassing the router's Content Security Management functionality since the DNS resolution is encrypted and cannot be checked by the router.
This application note shows the configuration steps to set up blocking DoH (DNS over HTTPS) by Vigor Router
