It's not the _only_ solution. If you're on a modern (read: last 6 years or so) version of android, you can specify a DNS over TLS server to use.
If that DNS server also happens to be a PiHole, you have a good filter mechanism that doesn't hit battery life / data quotas quite like an always-on VPN does.
It's a bit old, but I put together a basic project for this here: https://github.com/kquinsland/skyhole/ https://github.com/kquinsland/skyhole/
- t0bia_s 2y agoI prefer to connect via Wireguard to home network that has DNS filters (ie Pi-hole or NextDNS), because I can benefit with connection to home network any time.
