Can't that be filtered on a dns level with a list in pihole? Probably much nicer not having to keep it on all devices.

I agree, but have serious "ugh, but what about when I leave my network"-itis. Like when I tether off my phone (or just use said phone when out).

The ideal solution seems to be to VPN off my home internet connection, but that just feels so broken...

I used WireHole [0] to set up pihole over wireguard for use outside my home. It works really well.

I've thankfully only lost VPN access a handful of times since installing it because our internet is relatively stable.
