Just curious who these people are. It might be a fun nighttime activity to watch if I knew their schedules.

Heyo,

I've been setting up Pi-hole + Unbound + Wireguard (via Tailscale) on my home network, and everything seems to be working great.

My only slight irritation is the Pi-Hole dashboard is only ever showing me IP addresses and not the client names I've configured in my router's DHCP table.

I did a fair amount of reading and searching, and know that because DHCP is handled by my (Archer A7) router, I have to head into the Pi-Hole Settings > DNS > Conditional Formatting (or Settings > All Settings > dns.revServers) and plug in my network range (e.g., 192.168.0.0/24), my router's IP as the server IP, and left domain blank (as I don't see anyplace in TP's web interface that implies a domain has been set), which has all been done.

I thought after that I would just need to restart my router or even my Pi-hole, but to no avail, it still only shows me the IP addresses.

If it makes any difference, before I started all of this, I did already manually add a bulk of the clients via the Pi-hole's Clients list (e.g., I'd select a client from the Known Clients, put their name in the comment, and assigned them to groups).

And again I'm using Unbound & Tailscale if either of those are variables in this equation.

Let me know if you have any insights or suggestions, and thanks in advance!
