Blocking or allowing specific clients not working

[oshimapt]

Hello,
I'm using adguard home version v0.107.26 on a opnsense box.
The adguard is working great if I use global settings, but not working for specific clients.
Ex. If I create a persistent client, identify the client with is IP address and try to block/allow Youtube service, it won't work.
If I block/allow Youtube globally it works fine.

This can be verified with custom filters. If I create a filter ||example.org^ it will block the host without a problem and the check if a host is filtered shows the blocked host, but if I use ||example.com^$client='myphone' it won't work and the check if a host is filtered shows no results.

I understand that if a rule is not made correctly it will be ignored, but I can't see to find what I'm doing wrong.

hello,

just found that if i use this example from the wiki (||example.org^$ctag=device_pc|device_phone) it wont work either...
it looks like some modifiers are not working the it is supposed

I can reproduce neither of these issues. Both forms work for me when I add them to the Custom filtering rules. Please make sure that:

1. You use the client name as opposed the ClientID when using the client modifier.

2. You do not use quotation marks with the ctag identifier.

Hello,

Narrowed down to mobile phones and smart TV, all running Android.

The issue is the same, if I block a service globally it works, but for individual client it won't work.
The clients are identified by the IP address and it is fixed.

Make sure you put AdGuard Home's address into both DNS address inputs. Otherwise, Android will default to using Google DNS.
