Use domains in "disallowed_clients" and "allowed_clients" instead of IP address

[Issam2204]

I'm hosting AdGuard Home on a VPS on the cloud (all secured with encryption and TLS). However, I see that sometimes new clients shows-up (normally only making 1 request) and I'd like to avoid that.

I'd like to only allow my home router to connect to AdGuard: I'm wondering if the "disallowed_clients" and "allowed_clients" settings can be setup using domain names (especially the "allowed_clients" option). Why? Because my ISP IP address can change, but via DDNS I can always refer to my home network.

Thanks for any suggestion or help!

If your router supports DoH, DoQ, or DoT, a better way to ensure that only the router can access it would be to use the ClientIDs. Blocking by a client's domain name would be less precise and less fast, as that would require making rDNS queries and awaiting their results.
