Will this work when I'm connected to the company vpn? We have a private DNS zone set up for our private network, and this would probably mess up my DNS config. It would be awesome if it worked though!

You can configure your upstream resolvers in the config, so I think Sinkzone can be placed in front of your VPN's resolver. I never tested this to be honest.

I've used https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts myself for a few years, I think this is a fantastic collection for hosts based blocking.

I'm planning to address the issue for phones as well in the future.

#19AdGuardHome fills the same gap, doesn't it?

#20How is this better than using Pi-hole to do the same? It can also run in an allow only mode as I understand.
"can run" / "can be configured to run" / "is not documented but can" != "is purpose built for allowlisting workflow as simple as possible"
