It can't bypass my network DNS if only my DNS server is allowed to send out via port 53.
It's really fun to see how some devices are completely panicking. (I only have some chromecast music devices which do not need any internet) Anyway, I do hate that there are manufacturers who hardcode a dns into MY devices.
For the time I'm outside my network I do have a VPN which allows me to acces my pi-hole from outside (I never felt that the speed or latency is especially low)
There are even routers which allow you to re-route specific ports to specific devices. So, even if the device wants 8.8.8.8 the firewall would reroute it to my dns server
If you want a privacy friendly option that works from in/and outside your network without all the hassle above I can also recommend proton VPN which also procides tracker and ad blocking.
