Comment on Pi-hole client filtering without DHCP?

  I think he wants to do server side, not client. And that the dns filter picks up those ip addresses or ranges, and let some through.

    If I keep UniFi DHCP then Pihole will not show individual clients, making it hard to put blocks on those individual clients.

    In the past, the only solution I found was to let Pihole provide DHCP instead of UniFi.

      Oh that’s just a config change needed, in your DHCP server you need to set the DNS server (option 6) to the Pihole/adguard IP.

      Then you’ll have Unifi DHCP but with clients using pihole/adguard for DNS directly so you get per-client blocking and proper stats.
