A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

You can add the device you want to use PiHole with to your WireGuard VPN and set the DNS property for the Interface.
Then you need to add the PiHole machine to the VPN, if it is not already reachable (or you use your existing machine in the internal networking with masquerade)
I use tailscale on my pihole container and add the tailscale ip as dns for all tailscale devices. Then u just have tailscale one your phone laptop or w.e and will be using that dns. No ports opened at all.
Sounds like you need Cloudflare. The free tier should be just fine.
Cloudflare DNS proxied dns to be exact too. They also allow DNS only which is not routed through Cloudflare and the services.
Cloudflare has great free tier network solutions that being said:
If you outsource your network you outsource your control, and in this case you must be sure you can trust them.
The software mentioned here by the other people to do it yourself is not more difficult to setup and maintain than Cloudflare.
Last question one should ask themselves is why do I run a homelab and does outsourcing parts to third party vendors fit in to my objectives.
