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!

    Don’t you get a short break in connectivity as the ip changes?

      yes but most isp’s (at least where I live) change the IP in the middle of nobody-should-be-awake-anyway o’clock

      Plus the connection drops only for a minute or two at most unless ypu set a really high ttl on the domain dns record
