[SOLVED] Submit a disable command via network

There are some sites that no matter what I do, I cannot seem to whitelist all the necessary parts to get the site to work. I've also not found a browser extension that successfully shows all the links that are needed on a page to load. If this tool were to exist, I could systematically whitelist one site at a time to figure out which one I'm open to whitelisting to get my page to load. I've tried extensions like ADAMNetworks but it's not enough. Without it, I've had to resort to logging into Pi-Hole and disabling for 30 seconds or more just to use a certain page.

What I would like to see is an option to issue a temporary disable command without having to open Pi-Hole in a browser, log in and find and click the disable function.

I understand that some options for this could be exploited, but I believe that there are enough creatives here that could find a solution.

An example site that my wife uses is: https://www.hgtv.com/design/hgtv-urban-oasis/sweepstakes

It's a sweepstakes that she enters but the box to enter your email address does not come up unless I disable Pi-Hole for a short period of time.

Okay, thanks for those that provided support on this. It's solved by using the link below with the time to disable (300 in the example) and the WEBPASSWORD value (replace PWHASH with this string) found in the /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf file
