Should be easy to work around in the short term. The browser just needs to request a well-known "test" domain (like example.com) and detect if it gets a redirect. Keeps portals working without compromising the privacy of real DNS lookups.

At least as far as I can tell, it doesn't offer that feature. You would need to be able to resolve whatever domain the captive portal is using as well, so you couldn't just hardcode it into `/etc/hosts` either. https://dnsprivacy.org/wiki/display/DP/DNS+Privacy+Daemon+-+Stubby https://dnsprivacy.org/wiki/display/DP/DNS+Privacy+Daemon+-+...
