Sure, but the vast majority of sites don't support it, and it's necessary to have explicit support from both client and server in order to perform an ECH negotiation. It can't be performed against existing HTTPS implementatio

It's possible that they're now telling the firewall to block sites based on SNI or IP address, which is separate from the DNS mechanism. If you know the correct IP address for a site, you can use curl or openssl to connect to the

I agree with that. But almost every cool convenience-enhancing or safety-enhancing "connected" technology has been implemented in a way that makes it easier to track individuals. If we take aviation as an inspiration, where there
