There are ad-blocking DoH servers available. How is DoT any better than DoH in that respect?



Because, at least with plain ol UDP DNS, I can masquerade my adblocking DNS server to any IoT junk that ignores my DHCP provided DNS servers and uses its own hardcoded one.

DoT is obviously immune to that, as is DoH, but at least for DoT, that seemes to never have become popular, likely due to the fear of aggressive firewalls not allowing that port.

What happens when your junky hostile devices start doing name resolution over a protocol that doesn't look like DNS? Like, say, HTTPS!
