is it possible to have every user connected to pihole on raspberry pi to have their own configuration

[taurasnewx]

I have a raspberry pi 4 that I host pihole in and, I was wondering if it was possible for every person/computer connected to have their own pi hole config page using accounts or something similar

No, at least not with the current implementation of PiHole or most other DNS software. That's a large undertaking to allow different block lists and whatnot off a single DNS provider and not even something you generally see in larger scale deployments either. You can do it based on subnets to an extent with a DNS per subnet but to be as granular as per user without some heavy duty tracking of clients using 802.1x or something, no way.

The only thing you can really do is "pihole" or "no-pihole" through DHCP config per devices.

 

Or, if you have multiple pihole, you could setup VLANs and have different piholes for each VLAN, and so depending on what VLAN you put a device in, they'll have different pihole configurations.

would you be able to use something like one instance of pihole per device?

Good question, I don't know unfortunately

And unless you have a very customizable router, good luck giving a different DNS IP per person.

could you run vms with pihole running and have a control server that you use as the dns and that forward requests to the vms of pihole?

That's basically a load balancer and without much more complex integration into the entire network it's not going to happen.

does anyone know a way of making this work?

Yes, as suggested several times above, you'll need multiple Piholes/virtual pi holes rather than one pi hole with multiple profiles.
