What do you use when you are away from home?

What are the advantages of Blocky over something like piHole?

Does connecting my phone to my home network via VPN when away from home impact speed?

Don’t disagree with that sentiment. I do pay for YouTube premium etc… it’s more the intrusive ads that get on my nerves.

I’ve heard of using Wireguard for VPN when away from my local network. How does performance get impacted with something like that?

What is a publicly accessible DNS server? Would something like NextDNS count as that?

This is still only locally like Pihole though right?
