I recently talked about Pi-Hole in another thread[0]: I'm using Wireguard in combination with Pi-Hole on a cheap VPS as a VPN on my iPhone, it's blazingly fast and super stable. Will be trying this on my Mac as well now. I only allow access to the console from a fixed IP-address to add whitelists when needed. Everything loads much faster, websites, even apps I feel, though it might just be wishful thinking that last one.

- Jemm 8y agoWhat VPS and how much is it costing you?

- bluegreyred 8y agoI tried this with OpenVPN a while back and it was a spectacular failure because keeping the tunnel open also kept the cellular connection active and that sent battery consumption through the roof. I'm talking about 8-10 hours "standby" time on a modern iPhone. Is that not a problem with your setup? I looked into on-demand but is required a mdm profile and that seemed more trouble than it's worth.
