I have been trialling both PiHole and Adguard Home (AGH) on Raspberry Pi's and am pleased with both. However, I am favouring AGH simply because I can specify TLS upstream resolvers with fallback resolvers set to HTTPS.
I have two PIs working in parallel with one designated at the router as primary, the other secondary. One Pi is the fallback for the other. At the moment ALL local network traffic (nclding WiFi) is routed through the PIs to resolve DNS queries.
I am toying with the idea of implementing a VPN conection. The router is a UK BT Smart Hub 2 and has no means of configuring a VPN other than port clamping 500. I don't want to se a free service and happy to pay for a reliable, secure VPN service.
Given the router is useless for VPN, it looks like the PIs may have an additional fuction in provideing VPN as well as Ad-blocking.

- Will a VPN bypass AGH and render the latter useless?
- How would I force all internet traffic to use a VPN on the Raspberry PIs (both, preferably to give continuity in the event one fails)
- Can anyone point me in the direction of useful reading to research this more fully?
