Ad-blocking DNS server for Windows • Unbound pre-configured • Deployment ready in minutes • Does not require hypervisor/docker

Project mention: If I use a VPN on the device hosting Pi-hole, does Pi-hole use the VPN? | /r/pihole | 2023-07-08

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.
