Hi pihole,
I noticed that there is no way in the webinterface to add a dns record or atleast i didnt find it yet.
Just a simple text editor in the webinterface would work fine.
If you can add this it would be greatly appreciated!
kind regards,
Are you talking about client hostnames or something else?
There are two ways to accomplish this:
use Pi-hole's built in DHCP server
use your router's DHCP server and modify /etc/hosts on your Pi-hole machine

Or perhaps this is what you are asking for:
pi-hole:development ← pi-hole:new/host-record

Implementation of a feature request on [Discourse](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/domain-redirect/1826/) .
Curent behavior: The Android OpenVPN client is not able to connect to the VPN server when the Android device is within the internal network.
```plain
pi@raspberrypi:~# pihole -a hostrecord home.mydomain.de 192.168.1.10
Setting host record for home.mydomain.de -> 192.168.1.10
pi@raspberrypi:~# grep 'home' /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf
host-record=home.mydomain.de,192.168.1.10
```
Afterwards: The Android OpenVPN client is able to connect to the VPN server and shows its internal IP (`192.168.1.10`).
---
This command is IPv6-aware. Use:
```plain
pi@raspberrypi:~# pihole -a hostrecord home.mydomain.de 192.168.1.10,2003:89:xxxx:xxxx::xxx
Setting host record for home.mydomain.de -> 192.168.1.10,2003:89:xxxx:xxxx::xxx
```
`dig aaaa home.mydomain.de` will return the IPv6 address on the corresponding device in the internal network. Note that should not be necessary when using the proper global scope IPv6 address.
---
It is also possible to remove the configuration by not specifying any host/IP:
```plain
pi@raspberrypi:~# pihole -a hostrecord
Removing host record
pi@raspberrypi:~# grep 'home' /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf
```
Result: The configuration has been removed. The OpenVPN server is, again, not able to connect.
