Since AdGuard Home is active, this will mostly not work.

Use the embedded rules in AdGuard Home \> Filter \> DNS rewrite  
`http://[router-ip]:3000/#dns_rewrites`

Btw. you should enable “Override DNS Settings for All Clients” - it’s good for security reasons.

just skittles doesnt work but skittles.local does  
so thats good enough
