Any tips/ideas for configurations for selective content blocking by device? I'd like to block content on the kids' devices, but not for the adults in the household. I'm not concerned about circumvention at this point. I'm currently using a pi-hole for ad blocking, so I'd like to configure something at that level, unless there's a better way.
- yabones 5y agoPut those devices on a separate subnet would be the easiest way. In order of technical complexity: * Buy a second router, plug it into your existing one, set the DHCP options to point to 1.1.1.2 * Reconfigure your existing router to add a second subnet (192.168.2.0/24 etc) with its own SSID * Use DHCP reservations to push 1.1.1.1 to known devices (adults) and 1.1.1.2 to all others; it could be done the other way, but all iPhones/Macs can randomize MAC addresses making evasion very simple There may be a way to do this inside Pi-Hole, but it would probably be based on IP range rather than MAC address, which is much easier to circumvent.
- nkrisc 5y agoThanks for the ideas, it gives me somewhere to start investigating. I already have several subnets for other reasons, so I might try that route.
