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.

It is possible if you use pivpn (or any other VPN software) and double hop it to your pivpn provider.

Device -> pivpn (uses pihole) -> mullvad -> internet

I just get the wireguard configs from mullvad and edit them to properly work. Also works to get around device limits of the VPN.

How is the latency?

Latency tested using librespeed.org is about 50 ms.
