Hello
I have also had a look at this. 
There are now two Wiki pages on this topic. 
- A general one (https://wiki.ipfire.org/configuration/firewall/rules/redirect-services).
- A very specific one for DNS redirect (https://wiki.ipfire.org/configuration/firewall/dns).

Since core160 the general method works. This is equivalent to the method 1 described on the specific page. 

Following the general instructions, I have created a few firewall rules to redirect DNS, DoT and NTP.
This works very well now. 

In general, I think that general instructions are always better than specific step-by-step instructions. 

In my eyes, the described method 2, which had to be taken as a temporary solution, is therefore obsolete. In addition, pure blocking can lead to some devices no longer working.
 
Do you see it the same way?
