Just 2-3 years ago, normal DNS to CloudFlare or Google DNS were enough to bypass my ISP's DNS redirection. Then those got disabled and while I switched to DoH, many others switched to paid VPNs. Now they've moved up to SNI blocking. They may catch on to the trend and block DoH IPs too if DoH becomes popular.

Which country are you in/which countries do you see this happening in if you don’t mind me asking?

Frankly, if your ISP is that aggressive, your best bet is a VPN. DoT and DoH will always offer imperfect privacy even with widespread ESNI.

It's for bypassing banned sites

VPNs are routinely blocked in China and elsewhere.
