huh. Never thought about public pihole servers. So nice of those folks running them.
I don’t understand how you’re saying you’ve stopped self-hosting VPN and are still using tailscale. Are you using their SaaS service? Does that allow you to set your own DNS? Do they have speed limits? Are they zero-logs?
Tailscale uses wireshark, which is peer-to-peer. Their “free” plan allows you to set up a network using their “coordination” server, which simplifies administration of your tailnet.
You control dns, exit nodes, etc, so tailscale isn’t involved with the vpn itself, hence no speed limits.
You ultimately determine what tailscale collects as far as client logging.
If you block client logging, Tailscale may not be able to provide technical support.
I imagine the docker image serves to eliminate tailscale from the equation.
ETA: there are quite a few ad-blocking dns servers.
In this same subject, is there a way to set up pihole as DoT or at least DoH? Full disclosure, I have not done any research on this. The thought just came up while reading this thread.
Not self hosted, but I’ve been using tailscale with nextdns and it has been very reliable. I got tired of worrying about availability of hosting my own
You might look at gluetun. It lets you configure various VPN services from a docker container. The interesting part is that you can point other docker containers to utilize gluetun for networking. Essentially piping them through the configured VPN.

This runs a combination of both. Been using this for years and works like magic
This is gold. Thank you.
There are “public” pihole servers: use their dns, or the many other ad-blocking servers out there as the dns for your VPN.
Tbh, I’ve stopped the selfhosted vpn route and use tailscale (which can be selfhosted/has a docker image). It doesn’t get simpler.

I currently use nextdns.io
So do you run a tailscale exit node on one of the public clouds or a VPS provider like DigitalOcean?
Exit node is a VPS (Racknerd)
eta: it’s quite the deal tbh
