I’ve just set up my pihole and I’m considering the best way to configure it. Is it a good idea to set the default group to block (almost) all domains and then manually add trusted devices to another group with a “normal” block list? My use case is untrustworthy devices that I don’t want phoning home but which might change their IP address.
If you’re willing to deal with the massive pain in the ass that is, I don’t see a reason not to. Maybe write a note next to your computer to check the block list if something isn’t working right.
