Sure, but that’s more complicated and requires some device that you can always leave on. I run one myself, but NextDNS is a quick and easy solution and it works on a VPN. You can also make your Pi-Hole work behind a VPN but it’s much more work, NextDNS always works, no matter where I am and on what network.
Agreed. I used NextDNS to get started. Its absolutely amazing for that.
After that I wanted more, so have gone the Pi-Hole+VPN route and am not going back.
Oh, so you have the VPN server set up at home so that you can connect to your home network. That makes sense. I thought you used a commercial VPN provider to hide your IP.

What do you e.g. on your phone when your not at home and you can’t connect to the Pi-Hole?
I have yet to run into a situation where I am unable to use the VPN back home.
Do you have a situation that this would happen in?

Yes exactly. One day I’ll get a VPS and mess around with it but for now owning the hardware is cheaper and easier.
