[–] justcoding_de@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago (3 children) Agreed. My iPhone connects to my home VPN via Wireguard as soon as I leave my home WiFi. Has the added benefit of pihole ad filtering everywhere. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] biscuit@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago Wireguard and PiHole combo is such a blessing. permalink fedilink source parent [–] el_abuelo@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (3 children) Have you experienced any downsides to using pi hole?

If I was to run into something that's blocked that I do want loaded, I can just open the pihole interface and either whitelist the blocked domain or disable blocking for a short time, each with just a couple clicks. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) So the first thing you give any sketchy WiFi is your home address? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] justcoding_de@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago Yup. What are they gonna do that every other portscanning bad actor isn’t doing 24/7 already? Also, how would they distinguish between my private VPN and that of a commercial provider? permalink fedilink source parent
