Hi all - please tell me if I’m doing this wrong:
My 12yo spends all day on YouTube shorts. I want to block it, but can only block YouTube entirely. Blocking for everyone would upset my 15yo, so I need per-client domain filtering.
That was easy on Pi-hole. But my Raspberry died and I heard praise for Adguard Home so now I run that as a Docker container.
- I can’t figure out how to block YouTube for only some devices. Is that not possible with Adguard? Claude gives me complicated nonsense; you can easily do better.
I want to ditch Adguard and go back to Pihole. The caveat is that I must let Pihole run the DHCP server, in order to get correct per-client blocking. That’s a pity, as I have a neat UniFi network set up.
- Can I get Pihole’s per-client blocking without Pihole as DHCP?
I don’t mind setting it all up in Pihole again (as yet another container) because I know it works (it’s how I had it before the Raspberry died). But I would love to know if I am going about this the wrong way? Thank you!
AdGuardHome is also self-hosted and does have this feature.
Actually in my cases, I have to block Facebook on all of my devices, but want to allow it for rest of my family members. So, I know its possible in AdGuardHome.
