No, it shouldn't. It's sort of a multihop, so you'd have pretty bad speeds, but if that doesn't bother you then go ahead.
What I would recommend is using a Pi or any computer and hosting a wireguard server on there. If you connect through wireguard (which is a faster and easier to deploy vpn protocol) and choose the local DNS, you will have access to the pihole. But, this is only a VPN straight to your home network, not masking IP or whatever else.
If you want to mask IP and use PiHole, I am not the person to consult since I just use NextDNS when off my home network.
Hope that helps.
Ahh that’s a much better solution than putting it on the router. Thank you.
