UPDATE
Fixed! Apparently it was super easy. All I had to do is add 192.168.1.150 (my pihole ip), as the first DNS Server.
So in Network Manager it looks something like this:
IPv4 Settings > DNS servers: 192.168.1.50,1.1.1.1,10.x.x.x (ip that wireguard/proton assigned).
I hope this helps someone who was in the same boat as me.

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well.
I have a question about VPN (specifically wireguard).
My Setup:
- My own rig is Arch with Network Manager. I installed openvpn plugin and can use it to add my wireguard config to connect. Which works, when running
curl ifconfig.ioI get VPN External IP. (Using .conf instead of .ovpn, since with ovpn it wont connect, keeps asking me for "password"). - Selfhosted Pi-hole server, purely for ad blocking but also for DNS records. lets say the IP is
192.168.1.150:9000and domain ispihole.local.domain.com.
on the DNS records, I have a bunch of services i run internally (pass manager, portainer, proxmox, notes taking, etc etc). for example: 192.168.1.160:9000 will be notes.local.domain.com (only accessible from within my network, not from outside/internet).
What I want:
Connect to VPN, have VPN globally enabled for everything. (already works)
But, ignore my local DNS (pihole). Lets say 192.168.1.150 with (sub)-domains: *.local.domain.com.
The Issue:
When I am connected to VPN (protonVPN), everything works.
curl ifconfig.io shows vpn external ip.
navigating to 192.168.1.160:9000 also works.
However, what does not work is the domain that is connected to 192.168.1.160:9000 (https://notes.local.domain.com).
Which kind of makes sense to me, since everything is routed through the VPN, even if we are talking about internal DNS server (pihole DNS records).
I hope this kind of makes sense what I just explained. I am not quite pro on this stuff.
