You have the destination IP to work with, thats it. Otherwise it just looks like any other HTTPS traffic.

I guess if you uplpaded your own root CA cert tgen you could man-in-the-middle for deeper packet inspection.
Or, i guess, try using eMudhra's compromised private keys and hope the clients havent been updated yet

Right, I guess as more DoH servers become available, it'll be harder to track, but you could intercept and blackhole any HTTPS traffic to one.one.one.one and other popular servers to have them fallback.

Yeh, exactly. "You have the ip to work with"

one.one.one.one isnt an http/ request, its a dns lookup.
If it was an http/s request to 1.1.1.1 then it could be blocked. Also, super cheap/easy to proxy
