My friend is addicted to YouTube, and he asked me to block it for him. Is there a way to set pihole as the primary dns server on his phone and then set pihole to block youtube.com, (and derivatives) but not interact with any other dns requests. Would this keep me safe from attackers? Should I abandon this idea because it’s stupid and my RPi will become part lf the botner? How would I go about setting this up?

(If I just make him a vpn, he’ll turn it off and we’ll be back at square one.) Are there any apps that would locally do this on his android phone?
