As another downside, when I was using PiHole, I would get random things not working like random Xbox functions. You have to be really on top of the configuration to catch all the weird cases like that.

Ironically, switching to AdGuard DNS solved all that for me while providing the same network-level protection. And it works on my phone too. Shame OP isn’t into it. I think it’s an amazing product, especially considering the price (free FTW).
