You can totally set it up so that pi-hole is your dhcp/dns server and it will catch any device on your network, even phones and windows machines. I block 60% of the shit coming out of my network.
Last I checked mine was at almost 80%. For a while there I was getting a shitton of traffic from outside that was getting blocked, which lead to a 99% reject rate, though.
Not sure what’s going on with my new room mate’s internet, but yeah that was a wild month of trying to get that all under control
Some shit bag devices (Chromecast were the first I knew about) started hardcoding DNS server addresses and/or using DoH. There are ways to capture those too, I believe.
