Thanks!
This was a few years ago for me. It also aligned with my personal pendulum swinging back from cloud to on prem.
I switched to local pihole. I didn't really like it though, it felt a bit too toy-like. I then switched to adguard home, and I still use it. I've found it faster, easier and just generally more mature feeling than pihole.
Regarding using it away from local area network, I use tailscale (via selfhosting headscale) and then have adguard home joined on that, with the tailscale IP for adguard set as the DNS server for all my tailscale client devices. The only downside with this I personally face is it can be a little hit-and-miss changing networks on some older versions of Android.
