Setup "dns.adguard.com" under private dns section on your device to get rid of all these stupid captcha bot.

Eight like the parent company, StarHub, inherit the problematic dns gene cannot use one . Always need to set 3rd party dns.

iPhone can do it, but you need to create a custom DNS profile and install it on your phone. It’s a few extra steps, and the article below explains the process though it might take a bit of time to fully understand.

Take note this method may not work if iCloud Private Relay is used.

Reference
https://docs.quad9.net/Setup_Guides/iOS/iOS_14_and_later_(Encrypted)/

When using iCloud Private Relay, most VPN clients, or Little Snitch, it will not utilize/respect this DNS profile.
  • VPN: do not follow these instructions. Instead set Quad9's IP addresses in the Custom DNS settings of your VPN client. Refer to your VPN client's documentation for further information.
  • Apple Private Relay: do not follow these instructions. Apple private relay will use its own DNS servers at the system level, with no way to override it.

Unfortunately eight cannot do much here. They need the help from the parent company StarHub.

1) Improve the 5G Radio Access Network (joint venture between M1 and StarHub)

2) Improve the 5G Core Network. eight/giga 5G will have lower priority than the StarHub 5G Unlimited+ plans.

3) Improve the 4G core network to improve the congestion situation of StarHub 4G network when 5G is not available (or for eight 4G plan). But looks like this is a low priority for eight and they are trying to push people to 5G.
