Pi-hole for example can be configured to fully run local on a pi, being a fully recursive resolver without any external dependency.
It can, but it isn't at the same level of NextDNS.

What's the difference in combination pihole + open VPN?`
Pihole blocks everything I want + encryption. With free google cloud account (years ago you got 500$ for sign up to test stuff), I would say it's pretty much the same.
NextDNS does a lot more, it has a unique list no one else has, it also uses machine learning to block threats, it also has other features not possible on a Pi-Hole
OK, I will look into it. Sounds very good and I hate a bit to run pi 24/7 :P
Another question is, they are trustworthy? I mean nobody knows what they do with data, p2p encryption or not.
It would be possible, there was be a lot of shady things in the past ( not with DNS exactly) but with VPN/ encryption services and so on.
