I'm a very happy paying customer of NextDNS (https://nextdns.io) which blocks known adware and tracking hosts across all mobile and desktop platforms.

Facebook hard-code IP addresses when their domains are blocked. I found this out while using NextDNS alongside that logging functionality that iPhones have. It’s insane the lengths that they go to.

It's not insane at all. It is the entirety of their business model, so it makes sense that they will do everything possible to keep that sweet surveillance cash flowing.

One more reason I don’t use Facebook and will never install their app on my phone.

Sounds like an anti-censorship or a generic connectivity robustness feature [0]? WhatsApp and Instagram do this, too.
