Wouldn't you still have to wake up the radio to perform the (pi-holed) DNS lookup, though? Just curious because I would love to use a similar kind of system, but I am concerned about battery life.

I've been doing this for a few months now and the impact on battery life is noticeable but acceptable to me. iOS reports that WireGuard was responsible for 8% of my battery use today.
