Hello! I want to set up a pi-hole on my home and connect from my parent’s. Both setups have a dynamic IP assigned by my isp and are different networks.

I have a couple of questions:

  1. I can get a domain that updates automatically. But how would I resolve it on the client side?
  2. Is there any way to authenticate on the server? By Mac maybe? That can be spoofed right?

Edit: my bad, thanks for correcting me, Mac is another layer completely

  1. Can setting up a VPN solve both (1) and (2)?
  2. Is there any other way?

Thanks!

    VPN for sure:

    1. Set up both locations with Dynamic DNS providers. DuckDNS is free, but if you’re building infrastructure you may as well buy your own domain and set it up through that (Namecheap is what I use and recommend).

    2. Set up a Wireguard tunnel between both locations. Do *not* specify an endpoint for either. You could specify endpoints to boost security (barely), but it will cause your system to fail during IP changes, for the duration of the TTL.
