Are you implying that pihole works wonders on data-capped devices such as mobile phones? If the phone is connected to a network with a pihole, it isn’t using the capped cellular service. If it is using the capped cellular service, it isn’t going through a pihole. Am I missing something?
- dtparr 8y agoIt's less common, but some people use a VPN while on mobile data to get back to their local network. https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/vpn/overview/ https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/vpn/overview/ I guess you could also setup your pihole to be externally accessible and then point your phone's DNS at it, though I'm not sure that's a particularly good idea.
