📰 Some of my smart devices were sneaking around my Pi-hole, and blocking them was easier than I thought

When I implemented Pi-hole on my home network, I thought of it as a set-and-forget thing, as most of the community discussion suggested. I installed Pi-hole on my home Debian server, added a couple of reputable blocklists, and set it as a default DNS on my dual-WAN gateway. And for a while, it really did seem like the job was done. Ads disappeared, obvious trackers filtered out, and the dashboard showed me thousands of blocked queries.
