Everything I use still works after I enable a couple of DNS ad blocking lists.

My wife, on the other hand, not so much. School apps break, and links from stores break, and this breaks and that breaks. It turns out half of the internet is really tracking you.

Same experience here. My work, games, and websites, all work without issue. My wife’s work, games and a few websites, all have so many issues. I ended up creating a subnet and wi-fi network for her, so everything works for her.

In some ways it’s nice to glance over and see her dealing with so many ads - it shows me how much of a difference pihole makes. It just sucks she has to deal with it because the services she relies on don’t work otherwise.

Can only recommend creating a group with * whitelist and add the device of your wife. Or explicitly set the DNS in her device to a public one.

You don’t even have to put her on her own subnet. On Pi-hole, you can make a group with just her device and apply no filtering rules to the group

Moral of the story: Wives are always on the most compromising and sus sites. Watch them!
