Hi all,
I just got a Raspberry Pi 5 and I’m about to do my first setup, but it’s a jungle to understand everything as a ‘noob’.
My plan is to install the following:
I want to achieve DNS ad blocking and access to all my services on my laptop and phone.
Would these services achieve this? Do they work together? And am I missing something to make it work?
Sorry if this is plain stupid to ask, but I can’t seem to find anything where all 3 is used together.

Do you want to use tailscale so you can vpn from your laptop etc when your away from home for pihole to block ads on the laptop? Wouldn’t it be easier to run ublock origin on the adblock on the laptop instead?
The Pi-Hole is mostly for my phone. Can’t really block ads in apps with uBlock.
Laptop is mostly for remote access to my other services.
Pi-hole (or my preference Adguard Home) is great for devices connected to your home network. For your phone, go with Blokada (free) or Adguard (iOS, Android, paid - see Stacksocial for occasional license deals) - that’ll cover you at home and out of home.
