wirehole vs wireguard-go-docker

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.
