I have blokada on mine I had whitelisted all the amazon servers it connects with but when I read this I removed them all to stop it updating hopefully.
Will probably work until I get round to trying the xda fix.

Does that help? For me it doesn't stop anything. It looks like it uses DoH or something to bypass filtering.

Well mine didn't update at all until I manually added the servers from amazon it was blocking by default.
So I kind of assume taking them off again is a temporary solution. That said I can't guarantee they haven't changed anything since then and I might wake up to a worse fire cube sometime.

Blokada overrides the dns to its own and even then I don't see how dns is at all relevant because it blocks the update server from being connected with.

Firesticks use a hardcoded backup DNS which can't be changed/disabled without root access. This renders DNS level blocking useless because they'll just use their backup DNS if your DNS resolves to 127.0.0.1/0.0.0.0
