I present an alternative way to use Pi-hole outside the home network by leveraging Encrypted DNS (aka DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS) instead of the usual VPN.

    Use ddns on your router with a domain so you can then get something like wireguard.example.com and then use that as the endpoint in your wireguard.

    Set the wireguard DNS as your pihole.

    To make life easier set your home network IP space to something that another WiFi would never use, ie 192.168.46.xx

    That way it will never conflict if you are on a public WiFi and you can access anything on your home lab when you need.

    I’ve been using this setup for years on laptop, phone etc
