    Well DNS based blocking has its problems mainly devices bypassing your network defined DNS with some encrypted DNS(DoT,DoH) or using hardcoded custom DNS servers.

      A. Device part of a business infrastructure:
      Just don’t change anything; those policy are there for a reason!

      B. Consumer device:
      1/ If we’re talking about proprietary hardware/software forcing your network to use a specific DNS, then you need to provide more details because you should be able to change it.

      2/ There is also the case for a malware:
      A fresh start is preferable.
      Disinfect the system while offline, then back up the needed files.
      Reinstall the system on a new/old formatted drive.
      With the exception of taking your privacy/security seriously this time.

      Sounds like you shouldn’t use those devices. I go for custom software personally so I can control the device itself
