Disabling pihole for some clients(with new group feature)

Expected Behaviour:

Standard behaviour of pihole for me, and disable it for others with CIDR

Actual Behaviour:

Tried to do CIDR where all is disabled, and i wrote my IP's(they're static). But it didn't work.

Debug Token:

(Maybe nothing helpful here for this situation, but anyway)

Screenshot:


All my requests become allowed, so CIDR has more priority.
I can write all IP's in my network manually, but what if somebody has smart home system with dozens of wifi devices?

I recommend to add "everyone else" option for clients tab. Or just make CIDR less important than exact adresses. It will be useful for some cases.

Why do i need it: i just want to block useless services for me, they just suck all my confidential information(GAFAM). We can also make something like DNS firewall + adblocking (all in one) with it. Good option for small offices, for example.

P.S.
#piholeisawesome
And sorry for some grammar mistakes

Will be fixed in v5.1

Your 'all users' group is superfluous. All users are assigned the 'default' blocking group anyway. Just migrate the contents from the default group to a new one.

What were you intending to accomplish with this CIDR? It's not assigned to any group.

Really? Solution is so simple.
Thanks, i will migrate gravity to other "galaxy"

I just found solutions for problems with DNS, "reconfigure your router", and bad configuration

And sorry for silly question. It maybe happened because i upgraded few weeks ago.
