I personally use NextDNS[0], which works from anywhere and has mostly the same features. For $3/m it's worth not managing a pi myself [0] https://nextdns.io/ https://nextdns.io/

  as i get older the number of services i want to operate locally dwindle. nextdns does a great job, has a number of great implementations that prevent fall through, and works for the entire family regardless of whether or not they're on the local network. great product, great team.

I personally used to have setup a VPN with tailscale following their article [1]. Basically all my internet traffic is redirected back to the pi and therefore takes advantage of the pi-hole. [1] https://tailscale.com/kb/1114/pi-hole/ https://tailscale.com/kb/1114/pi-hole/

  I use Pi-VPN (pivpn.io), so the rabbit hole of Pis goes one deeper.
