thank you for your quick reply.
I know I know but I would like not to use a VPN server, I have a 120kb / s type rotten connection in sending ...
I would just like to offer my entourage the service of pi-hole.

No, please read about open resolvers. This is always a bad idea.

You can use VPN without routing the traffic through the tunnel (only the DNS requests). Have a look at our comprehensive wiki article:

https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/wiki/Pi-hole---OpenVPN-server

and especially
