    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.

  • uBlock Origin locally, as well as a Wirehole instance hosted on a remote VPS providing a Wireguard VPN with DNS level adblocking via PiHole.
