You could consider using NextDNS [0] instead of PiHole for this purpose. It seems like a good fit if you aren’t using the vpn for local network access as well (even then, I would consider switching to Taiscale, and then using the NextDNS integration with Tailscale).

+1 for NextDNS

  It's good, but I get occasional sites that refuse to load at all. I get a blank screen. Oddly though, if I look in the dev tools, network tab and see the response, the page is there. It just doesn't get rendered. When I go through Cloudflare DoH, it works fine.

    I keep a second browser linked to Cloudflare DoH for this reason. The OS and my router go to NextDNS, Firefox also set to NextDNS DoH, Chrome NextDNS as well, and then Firefox Nightly and Chrome Canary are set to DoH to Cloudflare for testing or one off workarounds. I do the same thing on my phone too.

        Not a huge deal - if you turn on the "block page" setting in NextDNS it will tell you exactly which rule is blocking it
