If I use a VPN on the device hosting Pi-hole, does Pi-hole use the VPN?
I have a NAS running Windows hosting Pi-hole thanks to this. I use a VPN on that NAS and it connects to a server in another country. When I check the IP on any of my other devices, where the Pi-hole is the DNS server, the results show my IP is in my country. When I check the IP on the NAS, it shows as being in the other country.

Also worth mentioning that on the project page, it states it's not an 'official' supported install method, and you should use the project's issues page for support questions. Don't want to bug the devs with an issue that might be Windows-specific.

Anyone For A MS Edge Lite Version?
This reddit really grabbed my attention because ever since I uninstalled the chromium edge browser from my windows 11 computers, which I might add that's actually very easy to do by using this application: https://github.com/undergroundwires/privacy.sexy I've been looking for something labeled as a 'lite' version but seemingly I don't think anything exists like that. :-(

Is there an accessible repository of open source software for Windows?
As much as I love Linux, I am forced to dual boot with Windows so I have access to the uni's student licenses (adobe photoshop, harmony toonboom, maya, etc.). I used privacy.sexy to cut off a lot of the bloat from my Windows installation.
