I’ve just set up my pihole and I’m considering the best way to configure it. Is it a good idea to set the default group to block (almost) all domains and then manually add trusted devices to another group with a “normal” block list? My use case is untrustworthy devices that I don’t want phoning home but which might change their IP address.

    I mean that buying a new device (which I guess I then might have to replace in X years) and configuring it to use openwrt is going to take some time and effort, and ultimately I might end up in a worse situation (than my current “working OK” setup). Maybe if I had infinite time but there’s only so many hours in the day!

      I’m literally running it on a tplink n600 i flashed :). Bought that in 2009.

      I’m still using 15 year old consumer WIFI routers for stuff. Like this.

      Hell, my main router is over 5 years old now.
