PiHole has the option to have blackholed domains show a "This was blocked by PiHole, click here to whitelist this domain". It doesnt work perfectly (ex. Hulu just craps out for me with PiHole because of some domain under the hood being blocked), but it is something.

And for guests you can disable PiHole for any time period with a click of the button on its web page.

Or kick your guests/roomates/gf onto a different subnet.

That said though, it is clearly not perfect and could use some work and TLC to take care of. But in case you (or the nest person reading this) wanted some ideas, I thought I'd offer.

There are other blocklists you can use besides the default. Some quick googling turned up half a dozen that folks like. Some more restrictive, some less.

keeping your own devices on pi-hole and using google dns by default could work.

this. it's a cool concept, but not good for roommates.
