setup-ipsec-vpn VS Pi-Hole-on-Google-Compute-Engine-Free-Tier-with-Full-Tunnel-and-Split-Tunnel-Wireguard-VPN-Configs

I can't connect to VPN. I have run VPN on this Raspberry Pi via IPsec. All of a sudden it stopped working. I tried installing IPsec on another Raspberry Pi, with no success, the same problem. I can't connect.

I have set up a vpn server using this, https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn. I am able to log into the server and shut it down if I chose.

ok so here is the deal... I am currently running this script on a rpi at home that also runs a pihole... I do this for 24/7 ad blocking on my phone and to get around blocks on public wifi...

First, go here and use this setup https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn . I put this on a raspberry pi and it works great, but you can put this on an old laptop or really anything.

you can run your own vpn node on some cheap vps server using algo (https://github.com/trailofbits/algo) or this: https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn

Great starting point for me: https://github.com/rajannpatel/Pi-Hole-on-Google-Compute-Engine-Free-Tier-with-Full-Tunnel-and-Split-Tunnel-Wireguard-VPN-Configs/blob/master/CONFIGURATION.md

OG Github:

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.
