DoH will just be the start of another arms race. If you would like to control DoH also user LinuxBender responded to a question I asked about DoH blocklists with these repos in another post. I haven't got around to trying it out yet though. [1]: https://github.com/bambenek/block-doh [2]: https://github.com/Sekhan/TheGreatWall Edit: I am mostly curious to see what devices/applications it will break.

Comprehensive, no. There are growing numbers of git repos of DoH names. [1] [2] [1] - https://github.com/bambenek/block-doh [2] - https://github.com/Sekhan/TheGreatWall

Not the person you responded to, but I too run my own resolver on my router. I also have the router configured to drop [1] all outgoing packets to any DoH IPs; there are a bunch of lists for those, like https://github.com/Sekhan/TheGreatWall [1]: Specifically, to reject them, which means sending a TCP reset / ICMP unreachable response back rather than blackholing them.
