My Pi-hole is handling my DHCP, and I have Tailscale set up for remote access.

But how to I set my devices (for example, phone outside of my LAN) to route as follows: device > Pi-hole > NordVPN? Is that even possible?

The end goal being to combine the benefits of Pi-hole with a paid VPN, regardless of location.

Are you trying to route your DNS queries through your VPN device or all of your traffic?

Just your DNS queries is easy, set up the VPN as the default route for the device (using netplan or iproute2), then all queries from PiHole will go via that.

All traffic is a bit harder, unless your PiHole device is the only thing between your regular devices and the internet.

Would setting the pihole as the exit node work here if the pihole then routes all it’s traffic through the VPN? Or does that break things and/or add unnecessary complexity?

Yeah, I have the same question
