Ability to block specific MAC addresses

Feature Requests
1

It would be great to be able to block MAC addresses directly from the web interface.

You could block out specific devices out of your network much faster / easier that way.

Good idea - You feature request is a subset of this feature request: DHCP Web Settings
It would be beneficial to close this one and add your support to the more encompassing request.

Hello

The Web interface does not contain a DHCP option to deny a host on the internal network.

My goal is to force a host (orange box) to use DHCP from my Orange router (ISP) because it blocks the use of the TV if it goes through another DHCP (pi-hole) which happens sometimes when renewing DHCP bay.

Thank you.

For now you can make a custom dnsmasq config in /etc/dnsmasq.d/ to do this.

I find this, if I add it in the file /etc/dnsmasq.d/02-pihole-dhcp.conf it will it pose a problem in the operation of pi-hole?

"

class "black-hole" {
match substring (hardware, 1, 6);
# deny booting;
ignore booting;
}
subclass "black-hole" 00:12:ba:1d:c1:b7;

"

Otherwise how to proceed?

Thank you

Put it in a new file, as Pi-hole files could be overwritten at any point.

Where did you find that config? It does not look like a dnsmasq config.

I found this config here "networking - How to ignore a set of Mac addresses in dhcpd.conf? - Server Fault".

How can I proceed?

Thank you.

That is not a dnsmasq config. That is for /etc/dhcpcd.conf
