I can't find this anywhere, but does Pi-Hole have any sort of client side 'reload without blocking' functionality? If I were to implement this in my network and a user has issues with a page not loading/functioning correctly, I feel like they'd need my help to add the site to a white list, which would be pretty inconvenient.

As the situation has worsened with the latest release of Safari I'm really interested to globally setup Pi-Hole on a VPS via docker and use it in combination with VPN (Strongswan) for all of my devices (also mobile). Has anybody had success with such a setup yet?

Looks like they have a document on that. https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/vpn/overview/

It has an API.

> You can craft a URL that disables pi-hole for X minutes, using the API. You hit the boomark and boom, pi-hole temporarily disabled. If you save it to your phone's home-screen, you've got an instant disable button.

I haven't attempted that setup however I've got a Nginx server acting as a reverse proxy which implements DNS-over-TLS.

Android 9 has support for custom private DNS servers so I just point it to my home IP and works great, no adverts when I'm out of the house.

I second this. A firefox plugin that is "on" or "off" would be great. I guess FoxyProxy is close if PiHole can act as a SOCKS proxy to do its blocking. Is that one way it can work?

It Does not have the vpn component but I have been very happy with nextdns for mobile ad blocking
