Setting up Pi-hole

[Bluecube]

AdGuard Home rather than Pi-Hole but other than setting AGH as the DHCP server is there anyway to get the clients to list as their hostname rather than their IP?

Settings/ DNS Settings - Private Reverse DNS Servers. My router is my DHCP server so I put it’s IP address in the box and ticked the two boxes just below it

This is the way.

Out of interest, why?

Why?

Pi-Hole has no support for upstream encrypted DNS servers, all your requests are being sent in the clear.

Oh. Is that it?

I did this.

DNS-Over-HTTPS (DoH) on your Raspberry Pi for Pi-Hole

To list as hostname 'where' exactly? Do you mean in the stats (top clients), the query log, or other? If you set up a list of clients (Settings > Client settings) the name you set there (Client ID) will be the one displayed in the stats and logs, in lieu of IP address. For example, john-macbook or janet-pc as opposed to 172,16.0.12 and 172.16.0.17.

In the top clients. Was hoping there was a way to not have to manually tag a device to an IP.

Sorry I should have said I had already tried this. All clients still just get listed by their IP.
