What is the use case of per client blocking?
- beervirus 6y agoBlocking Facebook stuff on every device except my wife’s phone.
- Spivak 6y agoWhy not just tell your DHCP server to give her the regular DNS servers? Is this situation where she wants ad blocking but still wants to use FB?
- beervirus 6y agoYeah, ad blocking in general is what makes the web tolerable.
- slau 6y agoNot OP, but in my case, most of my VLANs can’t perform DNS requests to WAN. Only the pi.hole server is able to do that (and other devices in the DMZ). Reasoning: appliances like Chromecast/Apple TV/whatever will often ignore DHCP DNS settings if it doesn’t resolve, and they’ll reach out to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 directly.
- A4ET8a8uTh0 6y agoI have several users and multiple devices in our household. FB is not allowed anywhere near my PC, but wife has to currently switch between piholed and not piholed wifi. It just allows for a much better control. Heavens know not everyone is like me.
