If I use a pihole then Samsung TVs will use 8.8.8.8 as backup (even if not configured) I had to firewall all dns requests as well...

Doing this because of their crappy spying - sending frames of video to identify what you are playing.

FYI - This article was linked in another HN post about smart TVs ignoring PiHole. See the original article about how to make sure the TV follows your PiHole. “Your Smart TV is probably ignoring your PiHole” https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25313776 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25313776
