Blocking Youtube on specific clients

[dynamix911]

Hello,

I have a linksys router setup for DHCP. I have setup Pi-Hole and it is running. DNS IP of PI is setup in the linksys router. Main purpose of this is to block youtube on certain devices. I had added youtube as blacklist and it is working, every device on my network cant access youtube.

I would like to block it at certain client devices. What is the best way to do this ?
Currently the pi-hole web gui only shows 2 clients. local host and my router.

I have tried to setup Conditional forwarding, and it didn't make a difference. (Maybe i set it up wrong)
192.168.1.0/24 is what i used. I am using a 192.168.1.0 home network. 192.168.1.1 is router, I have it limited to 60 IP's in the router but I can increase that if needed.

Ideally if i could create a group, and then attach clients to that group and have those clients use the blacklist. All from the pi-hole web gui that would be fine. if my other option is to just static assign the IP and dns (PI) on each device i can do that as well.

Pi-Hole v5.6
FTL v5.11
Web Interface v5.8

Thank You

Why do I only see my router's IP address instead of individual devices in the Top Clients section and Query Log?

A nice feature of Pi-hole is that you can see which network devices are sending out the most DNS queries. For every device that is using Pi-hole as their DNS server, you can also see which DNS queries each one has made.

For group management to work, Pi-hole needs to identify the requesting client, so that client can be governed by the correct group.
