How to unblock a domain for one client only without losing blocking for everything else?

Help
1

Hi, I need to unblock a particular domain for one client on my network whilst still maintaining all other forms of blocking for said client. How best to go about doing this?

So far I have created a new group and added that one client to it. Then I added the particular domain I need to unblock for that client to the allowed rule in the domains section and associated it with that the group that client is a member of.

My question is, how do I keep all other blocking active on said client? Do I just associate the "default" group to said client in the "group assignment" of the "client group management" page? Wouldn't that cause a conflict with the allowed domain since now I have said group being associated with a block and an allow rule for the same domain?

Yes.

If your blocking rules are assigned to Default group, adding the client to this group will activate the blocking rules.

No.
You can have block and allow rules at the same time.

Allow rules always takes precedence over block rules in Pi-hole.

The order of precedence is:

  • Allow exact domain rule
  • Allow regex rule
  • Block exact domain rule
  • Allow domains on Lists (AKA antigravity)
  • Block domains on Lists (AKA gravity)
  • Block regex rule

Thanks for clarifying that for me!
