Comment on Pi-hole client filtering without DHCP?

Posting here so I remember to share my UniFi setup later. Off the top of my head UniFi manages my DHCP leases like normal, and I set my DNS to my Pihole server with I forget what logging option on so I get full metrics in Pihole of what clients are what for each DNS request.

That sounds pretty similar to how I have my network setup:

PiHole has conditional forwarding configured (true,192.168.0.0/24,192.168.1.1,lan note: .lan is optional here, I uss it for my internal TLD) to get device names from router

PiHole uses Unifi as the upstream DNS and DHCP

Unifi uses cloudflare as the upstream DNS

Unifi hands out the PiHole as the DNS via DHCP config

That way I get stats in all the places and can use Unifi for DHCP.
