    Thanks, good answer. The ISP’s router won’t run a VPN. If i ran a VPN on the pi-hole machine would that cover all devices on the network?

      I don’t think so, since the pi-hole (running on a raspberry pi or other computer) just acts as a DNS server which you configure as the DNS to be assigned to clients as they connect to the router.

      If you’re not able to configure a VPN on the router, then setting up a VPN on the computer you’re using, not the raspberry pi, is the only option. This would only mask your computer’s IP address. This would need to be repeated on your phone and other devices as well.
