Plenty of folks do. There's a search function to your upper right. If it's broken, like usual, search for it on google using "site:lowendtalk.com Pi-Hole"
I run it on my cluster at home. Installs easy.
As all the documentation mentions, be aware of the risks you pose when running this on a VPS. If possible, tunnel through a VPN, or add specific firewall rules so only you can use it to query.
Yes, I do after I broke my raspberry pi for the 100th time.
I just use ufw firewall to lock it down to my home & office IP address.
I run on it on a DO VM with no issues. You do want to firewall off the rest of the Internet so you're not an open resolver (which can be used for DDOS attacks).
I use a dyndns provider to give me a DNS record that resolves my home, and then I have a script that grabs that IP and updates the firewall rules. Note that I'm only using it for home - if you also want your phone to use it, you'll probably need to setup a VPN.
I started a thread about this recently: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/118921/pi-hole-yay-or-nay
I really like it. I'm running it in a Debian VM off a FreeBSD server in my home. Runs really well.
If you want to do that, look into Ki4a. It's the Android "equivalent" of sshuttle.
i have 4 installed in small vps, not tryed on rpi.
but which rpi do you have? 1, 2 3?
I've got it running stable on an Orange Pi Zero. No reasons why it wouldn't run on a VPS
I run it on a rpi 512mb, runs fine for a month Ir so, now the sd card starts failing
Using it on a VPS currently and limiting the SSH and DNS queries to my IP only with the help of UFW. Also running the other VPS that I have through the PiHole for enhanced security.
