I was looking into localhost ChatGPT-ish LLMs (Ollama), and the thought occurred to me that maybe a localhost Pi-hole could be useful when I’m connected to an external network.

e.g.: using location-based rules for network settings, when connected to ABC network (or paired to XYZ mobile hotspot), direct DNS queries to a localhost instance of Pi-hole running in a Docker.

To me, this sounds easier than setting up a VPN tunnel back to my home Pi-hole Raspberry Pi.

Any blindspots that I’m missing with an idea like this?
