## DNS Filtering
DNS filtering solutions. while not having any negative impact on security, are trivially bypassable by just hosting the advertisement and trackers under the apex domain instead of a subdomain. For example, instead of hosting advertisement and trackers under ads.example.com, the webmaster can move them to be under example.com/ads and it would be impossible for DNS filters to block. Other bypasses include an application implementing its own DNS resolution instead of relying on DNS servers set by the operating system,or connecting directly to certain IP addresses without any DNS resolution at all.
