BYPASS DNS blocklist for 1 IP?

Hi,

I recently installed OPNSense (again) and I Really like the interface more than PFSense.
I took about a year to really know the Pf-sense Gui but OPNSense is so intuitive I just find things MUCH easier.

That being said, I cannot find the page that allows my to add and exception IP to the block-list.
I want my wife's Work laptop to bypass the DNS block-list.

IS this possible in OPNsense or should I go back to PFSense to get this functionality?

Don't get me wrong here please, I don't want to do that-it's way more work than I detected and, OPNSense just looks so much prettier
and, like I already said, I seem to find my way around the Gui easier than on PFSense.

Thanks everyone!

Where have you set your blocklist, is it in Unbound settings? If yes, then I don't think there is an option to allow a client.
What you could do if you wanted and is easy, is to install the AdGuardHome plugin, and set there your allow client.
The way DNS would work is client(s) go to AdGuardHome, then AdGuardHome goes to Unbound. Unbound goes out to root servers as it is now (presumably).
