## Configuring clients friendly names
It may be useful to set up a friendly name for each IP address that clients use to connect to AdGuard Home. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open `/etc/hosts` file in your text editor and add a name for each IP address, for example:
192.168.0.2 Mom
192.168.0.3 Dad
192.168.0.4 Sister
192.168.0.5 Brother
Note that on Windows file path to "hosts" file is different: `c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts`
2. Restart AdGuard Home
As a result you will see that the clients names are now shown:

In the future, we plan to add more configuration options in this area.
