Yes, blocking DNS exfiltration requires DNS filtering at cluster level. This is what will be added with the Cilium integration which is top-3 on the roadmap (top of readme).
DNS resolution is required for basic Kubernetes functionality and hostname resolution within the cluster.
That's said explicitly in several places in the docs: "DNS to CoreDNS allowed"
One thing I could do is make it exposed in config, to allow the user to block all DNS resolutions until Cilium is integrated. LMK if desired!
