pi-hole-openvpn

OpenVPN client connections will seamlessly include DNS level ad blocking, with upstream DNS being handled locally.

Installs OpenVPN and Pi-hole, preconfigured to function together correctly. Uses Nginx rather than Pi-hole's default Lighttpd due to personal preference.

Upstream DNS is set to a local caching recursive server via Bind9 on a private IP (default: 192.168.2.1) and can therefore only be queried via local interfaces.

Pi-hole is configured for OpenVPN's tun0 interface (default: 10.8.0.1) to deny external access, as well as to allow for a standard site to be hosted on port 80 on the server's primary public IP, rather than the Pi-hole's admin web interface.

Tested on Debian Stretch 9.1.

Based on Nyr's openvpn-install script, and pi-hole.
