I use https://github.com/dan-v/algo fork which has Wireguard VPN and PiHole combined. It takes minutes to spin up a Digital Ocean VPN and have it working on all my devices. I'm very happy with this setup.

What does Algo use as default ad blocking if you select it in the setup?
It doesn't really integrate the Pi-Hole distribution itself, but by default it uses two hosts file (see https://github.com/trailofbits/algo/blob/master/config.cfg at line 72).
Interesting, have you tried the default and pi-hole and would be able to compare the two?
Pi-hole dashboard is quite useful to see what's being blocked and add new domains/lists easily. For example, I also add all facebook domains (https://github.com/jmdugan/blocklists/blob/master/corporatio...) and sometimes Hacker news when I want to be productive.
