There might be many of guides and tutorials available for installing pi-hole in Oracle Always Free cloud. I have been using the installation script from here used for Google Cloud for 2 years with few modifications. Today I like to share it with this community. This is a straight script which sets up the wireguard & pi-hole and doesn't require terraform or docker.

I followed this tutorial and set up PiHole on GCP. It works, both with split tunnelling and full tunnelling. However, I need to have the VPN app on all the time for it to work. So I wanted to set it up behind my router and I found Option B on this website, which I couldn't make sense of it (I am mostly a novice). Is there a way to set it up with a TP-Link Archer A6?

Other way is that you can have a vps, setup wireguard server there (with pivpn) then connect your pc and phone to that server, I use this tutorial but might be confusing

I'm running an instance of pi-hole from a Google Cloud Instance. I followed these instructions Pi Hole Google VPS | Wireguard VPN, even they explain how to do it for free and give the reasons why is a good idea. You can start there. Even I was able to set the local router with OpenWRT and connect it to that instance using the wireguard vpn to only process the traffic from the DNS request of all devices at home. Let me know what you think.

Everything you need is here, host Pi-hole on Google VPS for free and connect to it for DNS https://github.com/rajannpatel/Pi-Hole-on-Google-Compute-Engine-Free-Tier-with-Full-Tunnel-and-Split-Tunnel-Wireguard-VPN-Configs

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.

As the pinned comment in that thread indicates, support queries for such should be directed to the project.

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.

NOTE: It's not an 'official' method to run Pi-hole, which means do not request support here. Use the project's GitHub site and file an issue there instead.
