Simple DNS over HTTPS with dnscrypt-proxy-pihole and Raspberry Pi

hi. when you suggest 'use vpn' do you (anyone please) mean something like this:

also, i suscribe to a vpn service which i can code into my router (open vpn client) w/ ovpn files, etc. from my vpn provider.

anyway, the merlin firnware router has policy rules for how you might like to route traffic thruogh the vpn.

ex:

so just wondering, if i want to encrypt my pihole and unbound activity properly through the vpn that is, would i use that?

that is, in the 'source' if i add my pihole ip, add the destination ip as 0.0.0.0 lface set to vpn...
