Description

Hi,

I have added the simple custom query to my adguard in my openwrt router and also specified the client in the panel with mac address but the filter does not work when I specify the client in regex filter rules

/.*youtube.*/$client=Playstation

It works perfectly when I use

/.*youtube.*/

Expected result

Should filter youtube only in Playstation client which is added by mac address

Actual result

Does not filter unless I remove the $client

Hello. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this. Some possible solutions:

1. Please make sure you're using the client name as opposed to ClientID in the modifier.

2. v0.107.21 is not the most recent release of AdGuard Home, so try updating.

Hi,

1. I am using the client name, I have attached the screenshot shot
2. There is no update for openwrt, please see the attached screenshot

Are you using an IP address to identify the Playstation client, a MAC, or both? MAC identification only works if AdGuard Home is the DHCP server, which you indicated that it's not. If the Playstation client has a static IP, I'd recommend using that.

There is no update for openwrt, please see the attached screenshot

You have indicated that you've used the official installation method as opposed to an OS package. I assume that that was incorrect? The latest released version is v0.107.26.

I used the package manager of openwrt, sorry if I selected it wrong, yes I am only using mac address only, no ip address. I will update it to use ip address and will let you know but it would be great if I could use it with mac address even if it is not dhcp server and the reason is I have ipv6 as well and it is hard to match with that as well as it comes from my isp.

Ok, it seems it works with IP address and I used the exclude expression (~) but it is a bit hard as I used ipv6 as well and each device has multiple ones which makes it hard to just add each devices ipv4 and ipv6

Apologies for the late response. As mentioned, MAC addresses currently only work when AdGuard Home works as the network's DHCP server. The issue about expanding that is #961. You can add multiple IP addresses to each persistent client's identifier list, and if your devices support encrypted protocols, you could also use ClientIDs.

I'll close this issue, as the basic problem is the same as in 961, if you don't mind.
