Hello kind people.
I'm having an issue on my network.
My wife works from home, using her employer's computer. I have no access to it so I cannot manually asign a DNS server on the computer itself. Now, I know that there's a way to bypass the PiHole DNS by adding clients into groups and to have that specifc group not have any adlists. That could kind of work, but I'd rather not have any logs of her job stuff so I don't have to be responsible, if ever.
I have downloaded the 04-bypass.conf and added it to /etc/dnsmasq.d/

## Instructions
## First set your tag, and dns server.
## dhcp-option=tag:YOURTAGHERE,6,IPADDRESSOFDNSSERVER
## You then simply need to replace MA:CA:DD:R:ES:SS
## I have set up the standard DNS servertags above.
## Below are examples of how to set a mac address to bypass pihole.
## Your Device that goes to Google DNS
##dhcp-host=MA:CA:DD:R:ES:SS,set:googlesdns1
## Your Device that goes to OpenDNS
#dhcp-host=MA:CA:DD:R:ES:SS,set:opendns1
## Your Device that goes to custom DNS Server
#dhcp-host=MA:CA:DD:R:ES:SS,set:YOURTAGHERE
## Les Ordi pas dans le DNS PIHOLE
##Laptop
dhcp-host=80:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,set:belldns1
dhcp-host=80:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,set:belldns2
##Ordi de Job Baby
##dhcp-host=48:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,set:belldns1
##dhcp-host=48:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,set:belldns2
##dhcp-host=48:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,set:googlesdns1
##dhcp-host=48:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,set:googlesdns2
The goal here is to have ##Ordi de Job Baby get out of the piHole DNS but i'm doind tests on my laptop, but once I get this thing figured out, I will uncomment the OrdiJob baby stuff and have that computer bypass the Filter.
I tried restarting the DNS, i tried ipconfig /release, i tried ipconfig /flushdns ,
but what ever I do, my laptop still goes onto the PiHole DNS. What Am I Missing?
I manually added the Bell DNS info, they come from my ISP so I figured I would use them instead of google's, but I don't really mind changing to google if this is a problem, althought I already tried and it still wouldn't work on my setup.
The honest truth is : My wife right now is on a group that has no filters, but when she looks into the admin page and sees that her computer is using pihole (and I know it's not doing anything) she blames me for everything that doesn't work well, so I need her out ASAP.
Thank you for you help, and I will greatly answer any question or provide more info if needed ![]()
Have a great day!
