Solved Is there anyway to block some domain (dns) with Windows?

Let me explain what I have in mind...I want to be able to block a device on my home network from accessing some domains.
The idea is to enable Hotspot wifi connection on my windows 11 and connect to it with my device, instead of having the device
directly connected to my router. Then find a way to block the domains I want on my windows. So that the device connected to
my hotspot will not be able to connect to those domains.

Do you think that this is possible to do?!
Mostly what I was able to find on the subject was to us pi-hole with a raspberry pi which I don't have. I would really prefer getting
this done with my windows PC if possible.

You can block domains using the hosts file or windows firewall.


There are youtube videos on this as well. This one works with hosts file.

You can try NextDNS just setup DNS as DOH to be able to use a custom setup. Change dohtemplate accordingly.
You can use the extension to add multiple domains at once.

Code:

reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters" /v "EnableAutoDoh" /t REG_DWORD /d "2" /f
netsh dns add encryption server=45.90.28.91 dohtemplate=https://dns.nextdns.io/userID/devicenane autoupgrade=yes udpfallback=no
netsh dns add encryption server=45.90.30.91 dohtemplate=https://dns.nextdns.io/userID/devicename autoupgrade=yes udpfallback=no
