Nearly all telemetry requests are domain name based, so a good network wide adblock will do this. I'm using [adguard home](https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome#getting-started) - and the standard filter handles that. Considering the CDNs and such it works a lot better and cleanly. It *is* network wide (or I guess you can run it locally or in a VM and use that as your DNS server?) . Doing it as a firewall for most home users is... probably not worth the effort, without some sort of automation and a good maintained blocklist, which is what pihole (as suggested in the comments) and Adguard home do.
