A step-by-step guide and configuration for running a self-hosted Pi-Hole ad-blocking DNS server with an OpenVPN server on Google Cloud's always-free tier, supporting full-tunnel and split-tunnel connections. The project is deprecated in favor of a WireGuard-based successor.
Use cases
- block ads on all my devices with a cloud DNS server
- set up a free personal VPN on Google Cloud
- encrypt my DNS traffic on public WiFi
- run Pi-Hole in the cloud with a static IP
- configure split tunnel VPN so I can still reach local devices
- stop my ISP from seeing my browsing activity
- set up OpenVPN server with PiVPN on Debian
When to choose
- you specifically need OpenVPN with Pi-Hole on Google Cloud free tier
- you want a free, self-run ad-blocking VPN with full and split tunnel options
- you need a detailed beginner-friendly walkthrough including Google Cloud account setup
When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained solution - use the author's WireGuard guide instead
- you need WireGuard performance or modern protocol support
- you want a one-click installer rather than a manual guide
- you need a VPN provider with many server locations
