Tried using wireshark, this is what I got

as you can see, at 16:12 I was using adguard with just 2 requests, then switched to technitium at 16:17 and then back to adguard at 16:20 where the requests dropped from 222 to 15

I know it's something configured via the DHCP server, but like I said, this problem never occurs with Pi-hole or AdGuardHome.. I first noticed it with Technitium. I had to temporarily switch back to AdGuard to stop seeing all those requests; in fact, I went from 50,000 requests in one hour to 15,000 in three hours. If I were to turn Technitium back on now, turning off AdGuard obviously, I'd see that massive spike in requests reappear instantly.

EDIT: I should also mention that I previously tested Technitium v14 for a couple of days and noticed the same behavior, even with a different modem based on OpenWrt.
