Block by device

Is there a way or possible feature request to have this done. For Example, I would like to block youtube on certain devices, but not all devices.

So I would pick a device from a drop down and then block youtube on that specific device.

Best way I can think of is to use different configuration profiles for devices that you want to have different settings. If they support having the NextDNS app, you could specify the profile and they would use a profile with different settings.

If not, couple options:

Set the DNS on the device to the DNS servers presented in the configuration profile vs letting DHCP assign DNS.

If you use NextDNS CLI for your home, you can assign different profiles based on IP, IP range, or MAC address.

Thanks! I was thinking maybe this. I use the CLI on my ASUS router with Merlin firmware. I have maybe a few options that I might look into.
