Only gets the job done when you are at home or have a constant VPN to your home.

You can set the DNS for your device as well

AdGuard or NextDNS ftw!

If you’re tech savvy enough to set up PiHole you can also set up a Wireguard VPN.

Does something like Wireguard increase traffic? I’m thinking if it’d make problems for when you have low connectivity and bandwidth.

Yes i know but just using NextDNS is way more convenient and less expensive (especially when a raspberry pi computers are 100€ and above in your area…)

Price is not really a factor, as you already have a machine running PiHole. Never tried NextDNS, but I can’t imagine it being easier than Wireguard.

I just use a DigitalOcean VPS. $6+tax a month, plus some other self-hosted services. Don’t have to worry about being connected to home or buying a Pi. Still may be more expensive, but not by much (only $4-$6 more expensive depending on how much you use the internet), but this also allows you to setup your own DNS if you want as well.
