Tailscale> Set pihole machine/s as a nameserver/s> tailscale always on> use tailcale DNS... Profit?

I'm not familiar with Tailscale, but I assume it would only route DNS requests through the VPN just like the docs' solution does, doesn't it?

You can set a machine to be an exit node and route all traffic through it. Set it is as subnet router and you have your home network but everywhere.

I was implementing tailscale anyway so it was very little effort to add my pihole lxc+machine to it.

Note, I'm an advanced beginner. My homelab is other people's projects bolted together with scotch tape and best practice violations. Take the key words as Google recommendations only.

You can accomplish the same with any VPN solution that supports split tunneling.

I use wireguard now, I decided to cut my subscription to a VPN for when I left my LAN. I tried setting up tailscale but had difficulties getting it to work with my homelab. I am thinking of spreading my homelab across to homes for cloud back up as I have also started using nextcloud rather than any third party clouds.
