I blocked all my IPv6 because android/Google would always force it's own DNS on me. And I couldn't find a reliable method without rooting the phone to turn this off.
Well i did find one, to disable IPv6 on the router. Is this a thing anyone else had or did i remember it wrong or not dig deep enough?
For me, working DNS is just managing to connect to DNS-censored piracy sites. And just providing v4 and v6 IP adresses on the DNS field worked IIRC. Also you can use an actual DNS hostname managed to get sites to work.
