Hi all - please tell me if I’m doing this wrong:

My 12yo spends all day on YouTube shorts. I want to block it, but can only block YouTube entirely. Blocking for everyone would upset my 15yo, so I need per-client domain filtering.

That was easy on Pi-hole. But my Raspberry died and I heard praise for Adguard Home so now I run that as a Docker container.

  1. I can’t figure out how to block YouTube for only some devices. Is that not possible with Adguard? Claude gives me complicated nonsense; you can easily do better.

I want to ditch Adguard and go back to Pihole. The caveat is that I must let Pihole run the DHCP server, in order to get correct per-client blocking. That’s a pity, as I have a neat UniFi network set up.

  1. Can I get Pihole’s per-client blocking without Pihole as DHCP?

I don’t mind setting it all up in Pihole again (as yet another container) because I know it works (it’s how I had it before the Raspberry died). But I would love to know if I am going about this the wrong way? Thank you!

    Parental controls on YouTube work decent.

        With Android, you can set a timer on YouTube

          I mean, the kids don’t need to log in YouTube to view Shorts. What’s the purpose of setting up anything account related? I missed anything.

      We’re running a grandfathered Google Workspace for the whole family. Parental tools don’t exist in Workspace :'(
