Selfhosted VPN advice for Homelab Access
Yes, adding certs with strongswan/ikev2 is a bit of a pain, but it IS fully documented at https://github.com/gitbls/pistrong/blob/master/CertInstall.md. The cert installs are a one-time thing, of course.

What would be the best way to VPN into my pihole from my mobile phone while I am out of the home?
Heretic here. Every Client OS (Android, iOS, MacOS, Windows, Linux, etc) has IPSEC built into the OS. No need to install an app on the client. If you want to avoid installing VPN software on every client that uses the VPN, take a look at https://github.com/gitbls/pistrong

Which OS VPN clients support IKEv2 split-DNS (RFC8598)?
If you mean Split Tunneling, then strongSwan definitely supports it on Windows 10. I think MacOS does, you can probably make it split with Linux. For Windows, see Install strongSwan Certs on Windows 10, for example. Also found this https://www.frakkingsweet.com/strongswan-ikev2-split-dns-and-ios/

VPNs are being blocked
after that u can simply run this script https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install that helps you automatically install wireguard and create a config ( to add more configs just run it again ). This script also generates QR code that you can simply scan by ur phone

Certain websites refuse to load
I currently have WG set up on a Linode Ubuntu server (installed from https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install) with Pihole setup in the background. I have everything working just fine, except for some websites showing as "Page cannot be displayed". I've looked up in the subreddit and some have recommended changing the MTU (which I've tried on server/client), but that doesn't resolve the issue. In Pihole, it shows that it responds correctly. I did enable IPv6, but this happened before adding IPv6. Running curl from SSH to access the affected site, it tells me 301 Site moved permanently. Here's the server config:

Developer wanting to start learning about homelab
As for the VPN: I always use this installer on a raspy pi (you can do this on a virtual machine): https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install But that is only because I hate having to set up keys.

Any actually useful uses for Raspberry Pi and alternative sbc?
So I got a Libre AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato) to play around with but all the ideas I see online are about emulating games, running a nas, running ad blocker, vpn server, 3d printer, website hosting. All these just seem like these would be better to run on an actual server or the ideas are lame, basic, and overused. I just want some useful things that only these single board computers can do to justify their purpose. I like stuff like the PiKVM or wireless usb like VirtualHere. The Arduino has their spot for robotics and what not, but what do SBC have to offer besides being small and broad purpose? Stuff like can I make it auto start my car in the morning, attached it to a pcie port on my pc, make a cellular wifi hotspot modem thing, make a smart tv, make a robot with AI, bypass wifi router settings, make a smart door deadbolt or smart window blinds, AI caht bots, transmit landline calls to the internet, drones with facial recognition, spy balloons, kiss under the bicycle racks in walmart, watch the rat movie that cooks food, ratatoot toot, overthrow the government? Those types of ideas are stuff I see as useful but also I want to look up later if those are something that exists already.
