I co-develop a FOSS DNS + Firewall for Android that prevents apps from doing their own DNS over HTTPS / TLS / QUIC by blocking all connections to IPs that the DNS client (embed within the firewall) hasn't resolved itself or the TTL of whatever answer it once resolved has expired. Something similar to this could and should be implemented by other firewalls, too. The result of such a blanket setting is devastating though, as some apps (like Telegram) refuse to do plain-old DNS and hence refuse to connect at all (so, one may have to selectively allowlist certain IPs / apps). This also has a happy side-effect (or annoying side-effect, depending on how one looks at it) of breaking apps connecting to static IP endpoints (ex: Orbot connecting to Tor bridges).
