Assign device name to queries from pfSense router

I'm using NextDNS with pfSense using the recommended settings for unbound+pfSense. The only issue I am unable to resolve is that all queries coming into NextDNS from my pfSense box are showing up under the public IP of the pfSense box. Is there a way to assign a name to this IP?

For clarity, I am not looking for individual client names, but if that is possible to do without installing the NextDNS CLI on pfSense, that would be awesome.

    All queries from the pfSense box end up being logged under "Unidentified Devices."

    You need to install our CLI on your router for that: https://nextdns.io/cli

    A sample from Unbound with dummy data. Use your profile data.

    server:
      forward-zone:
        name: "."
        forward-tls-upstream: yes
    forward-addr: 11.22.33.44#pfsense-aabbccdd.dns.nextdns.io
        forward-addr: 2a00.a0a0::#pfsense-aabbccdd.dns.nextdns.io
    forward-addr: 11.22.33.45#pfsense-aabbccdd.dns.nextdns.io
        forward-addr: 2a00:a0b1::#pfsense-aabbccdd.dns.nextdns.io
