wirehole VS cloudblock

Shameless plug for an alternative?

> WireHole is a combination of WireGuard, Pi-hole, and Unbound in a docker-compose project with the intent of enabling users to quickly and easily create a personally managed full or split-tunnel WireGuard VPN with ad blocking capabilities thanks to Pi-hole, and DNS caching, additional privacy options, and upstream providers via Unbound.

I have been running a home server for a little over a year now mostly for Plex and backups. I set up a Wireguard instance with unbound and pi-hole called Wirehole to remote to my services and keeping things secure on my phone and laptop at times.

https://github.com/IAmStoxe/wirehole is all you need

https://github.com/chadgeary/cloudblock Another one which you can use but with less work

2.) Cloudblock I use OCI's free tier.

It looks like you choose a DNS over HTTPS provider, and it defaults to OpenDNS.

/u/chadgeary made cloudblock which was super easy to setup with his tutorials

I’d recommend Oracle, as they have a free tier that should cover your use case. If your interested check out Step-by-step cloud deployment - Wireguard VPN

if you want to run it in the cloud, for free, and not rely on anything at home, use cloudblock and run it on oracle cloud infra, they have a forever free tier that i have been using for years.

https://github.com/chadgeary/cloudblock/ or https://github.com/chadgeary/cloudoffice/ are both fun projects

In case you're feeling ambitious, you can take a look at this project which is designed to make it easy to deploy your own ad-blocking VPN on a cloud server. Watch one of the step-by-step videos linked to on that page (like this one for Oracle Cloud) to see if it's something you'd feel comfortable setting up.
