You will need to provide a lot more detail.
How are you defining the clients? Manually?
Are you sure they're not visiting just "baidu.com" which you aren't blocking?

I use this feature and it works well for me, so I expect you have misconfigured or are misunderstanding something.

Also I think the Client rules are case senstive, if your client is called "Bob" but you put in "bob" I'm fairly sure that won't match.

Are you sure you aren't getting the CasE of Your CLiEnt incorrect?

That might well be the issue.
If you can provide actual steps to reproduce, then we can get it flagged up to the development team.

Reproduce
I have a smart speaker with a statically fixed IP. I bound its IP to a Chinese name in AdGuard Home. In AdGuard Home's request logs, I noticed that this speaker has been constantly requesting www.baidu.com, so I chose to block it exclusively for this device through the logs.

But it didn't work

Then I blocked it through the speaker ip
it works now

Can you please

Take screenshot(s) of how you configured your client.
Take screenshot(s) of your blocking rule(s)
If possible please paste in the actual client name you used, so it can be tested.

I understand what the problem was and how you fixed it, but the key is probably "Chinese name" and you haven't provided this. If someone wanted to reproduce the problem what EXACT steps would they follow. That's what I'd like to understand.
