With the group management, I can setup lists for specific devices.

> I've come across an issue when trying to use the CBS All Access app on my AppleTV. The app will not work with any sort of ad-blocker, including pi-hole. There is a reddit [thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/pihole/comments/au38by/cbs_all_access_not_working_with_pihole/) on what needs to be unblocked, but I don't want to open up my entire network to the domains. My other option is to turn off pi-hole when watching CBS All Access, which works, but it's a pain, and I don't want to have to intervene if family members want to watch. So, how can I just unblock the domains for my AppleTVs?…

Can I setup a device group which only can connect to defined records in the whitelist?  
Anything else should be blocked within the device group.

Sure. Create a new group, assign the desired clients to this group only, add a all blocking RegEx (`.*`) and add whitelisted entries as desired.

ok, regex should be just `(.*)`?

I think it works, thanks.

Without the brackets, although I think it would still happen to work with them. So just

```
.*

```
