At home I am using PiHole but “on the road” I also what a good solution like PiHole. So a few days ago I read that NextDNS is a good option and in some cases even better then PiHole. So that is, why I’m now here to get some opiniond from you gals and guys :)

Speed limited to home network upload speed am i right?
I don’t understand what you mean? My home network has fast download and upload speed. I have absolutely no issues with speed.
I mean. If my phone connected to my home network through wireguard, my phone download speed will be limited to my home network upload speed right since im connected to my home network?
Not sure if i explained that well. English is not my native language
Oh okay I think I see what you mean now. Your English seems fine!
Your download speed could be less due to the VPN having to tunnel in, and you’re also limited to the network speed you currently have on mobile while you’re not home.)
So yea it could be slower than your home network probably since you’re limited to current mobile data/mobile wifi speeds and the extra latency from tunneling back home. This is in terms of download speed.
I’m not sure if you are limited to your home network’s upload speed. I guess potentially? Conceptually it makes sense. You’re probably right. Good question.
For me person it’s fine since I don’t download shit on my phone. I just use it for calls, texting, and web browsing.
I probably explained this terribly so if anyone else could chime in, that would be great :-)
Wireguard can be configured to proxy specifically only any requests across the DNS and Encrypted DNS ports and protocols. It is extremely capable of being lightweight and not carrying all your traffic.
I dont understand that one bit but thats probably why my speed was slow when im connected to my home network through wireguard.
For example my mobile plan is around 100Mbps down and 30Mbps up. When im connected to my home network through wireguard. My mobile download speed crippled to my home network upload speed which is 50Mbps.
Is that normal? I read that its normal.
