Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You can't configure DNS server by name on anything, so you'd need some kind of script/automation to query current IP address of your pihole from google/your ddns provider/someone and update that on your parents router which can be a bit tricky or straight impossible depending on the hardware.
VPN would solve both 1 and 2 from your list as your pihole would be available with static address on both locations. You can't authenticate on DNS server by MAC as you don't receive originating MAC at all. Other solution would be to get a static IP address from some provider and tunnel traffic so that your pihole could be reached trough that static address.
