Are there any privacy benefits to hosting a DNS server on a VPS that you can then use as your DNS server on your mobile devices?
My thoughts are that it would bypass using your telecom’s dns or Google/Apple or even your VPNs DNS. In addition you can set it up to block trackers and ads, which is often hard to block natively on a phone system-wide.
To take it a step further, you could run the VPS through a paid VPN in addition to using it as a DNS.
What do you think? Has anybody tried this before and if so, got any tips?

I use a wireguard-tunnel from mobile to my network at home. From there, DNS queries take this way (on rpi): wireguardserver -> pihole -> unboundserver (dns root) -> authority dns server
