look into a VPN to your home network when you leave your house. you can also set it to "on demand" so it automatically turns on when you disconnect from your home wifi.

I had set up this configuration around 2016 and found it a little clunky. I called it a SkyHole. It was great, and now we have the ability to install DNS profiles on most phones, or configure DNS profiles for PCs such that I use a (“free”) commercial provider and get as blocking which takes care of 99% of the noise, and don’t have to fuss about with maintaining a dedicated device.

Thats my next step considering that Im getting requests from house members for it. Took some time to smooth out the blocklists and now everyone loves it. Any recommendations for a pi3 running pihole with vpn?

Tailscale is nice and you can give different access to different people. It also tends to get past most VPN blocks.
