It put my TV in its own group in pi-hole, blocked everything (.*) for that group, and then whitelisted what I wanted the TV to be able to get to.
I should try this. I presume you would need static IP on your TV?
You can also add devices to groups by MAC address or hostname, but a static IP might be best.
I only need a couple of domains to work. My way could be a hassle if you need to figure out whitelists for a few services.
Yeah, I guess that would work too.
It is a hassle but usually only done once or at least between some intervals. My RegExs were also a hassle though.
