Prerequisites

  • I have checked the Wiki and Discussions and found no answer

  • I have searched other issues and found no duplicates

  • I want to request a feature or enhancement and not ask a question

The problem

The use case for this:
I have some workstations with adblocking browsers and extensions where it's necessary to toggle the blocking features off to access some websites. This makes the blocklists in AdGuard Home redundant and it's an additional step to whitelist the domains there. Rather, for these workstations/clients, I have disabled "Block domains using filters and hosts files". The problem with this, however, is the DNS rewrites I have configured for local hostnames or domains do not get applied while this is disabled.

Proposed solution

I suggest having separate options in Client settings to enable/disable blocklists configured in AdGuardHome and to enable/disable the global filters.

Alternatives considered and additional information

As a workaround, I have found that keeping the blocking filters enabled in Client settings and adding the following entry in Custom filtering rules for these client IPs achieves the desired behavior:

# Bypass blocklists for client
@@$client=192.168.X.X

At the end of the day, I would rather maintain these entries in Client settings instead of creating a custom rule for each one.
