You don't need to VPN. A DNS server works as well as a hosts file and is much faster than putting every request through your network.

Good point. VPN can be used to deliver the ad-blocking DNS server to multiple mobile devices, enabling access to VPN-hosted files while leaving most traffic on the cellular network.
