You are focussing on ways to try and simplify what I’m doing, has it ever occurred to you that I have put a lot of thought into this and I’m doing things this way on purpose?
SHORT VERSION
I am extremely concerned about my privacy, and blocking advertising and marketing companies from tracking me is a top level concern. I want to block the tracking across my entire network, and the most efficient way to do this is with a PiHole. Additionally I want to obfuscate my IP and location, so I use Proton VPN to do this.
I want to use both my PiHole and Proton VPN when I’m not on my home network. The best way to do this is with PiVPN on the same Raspberry Pi running the PiHole.
LONG VERSION
Using this strategy it’s entirely possible to prevent your location from being tracked using your cell phone. I know you don’t believe me and think that’s impossible, I can assure it is possible. I’ve been doing it since November of 2019 and have only connected to cell phone towers four times since then, the last time was in April. Here’s an overview of how I do it:

I know it seems like I’m adding extra steps and taking the long way to do this, but I have an very specific path I’m trying to use, and simplifying the process is going to remove a mission critical component I put there for a reason.
