So, I built this houseboat over the last few 10 years or so. It is 55 yards from the belkin N spec router in a closet with a few doors and windows and 50 yards of lawn and dock inbetween. As it stands my signal drops off mid yard about 15 yards short of where I need it. Need more range. Per the op, I want a better router. Will that be enough?
I also am tasked with finding out about antenna options for the boat, with the dream of being able to use public wifi from a marina wherever we might take the thing. Probably mostly using an ipad on the boat, so it wont have anywhere to plug a bigger more directional antenna into the computer. A router repeater whichever that has a good reach from the boat to public wifi in other marinas would be nice, if anybody has any thoughts on that.
Some cheap directional antenna might get you the rest of the way.

I've used one of these with good results on a PC, haven't tried it on the router end tho.

I have a debian server running OpenVPN on a static ip on my home network (192.168.1.48). I'd like to also install PiHole on the instance and have it block ads on my home network as well as when I'm connected to the VPN.
Do I follow this guide and use the tun0 interface?

code:openvpn@debianvpn:~$ ip a show dev tun0
