For comparison to 300k queries, I use pihole and ublock, we basically have 4 users, we're in UK and have one desktop computer, 4 mobile phones, a laptop, a game console, a TV with Netflix (no other pay TV). Most daytimes there's only one person home.

We do an average of ~7k DNS requests per day, somehow. Our max day was 26000 requests ... I assume everyone is abusing DNS for tracking (heartbeat of some sort?).

Microsoft seem to hit the pihole rate limits often, presumably if you block their tracking domains they think making hundreds of requests a minute is the way forward ... it's almost like they're trying to DoS me with my own computer.
