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.
I have ddns on Cloudflare.
It works great, until your home IP changes.
After that wireguard will happily hammer the old IP, till something breaks the tunnel and it reestablishes it to the new IP.
Working as intended.
My workaround was forcing the IP change over night while everyone was home.

Tailscale sorts all the issues I had.
