I have successfully installed (for the second time) a pi-hole on the raspberry 4B. But I also have failed to make pi-vpn works.

I would like some help or suggestions to setting up it correctly.

I also have a domain name through namecheap, and maybe it would help setting it properly, and then setting it for a jellyfin server later. Any help is appreciated. Thanks all!

In general, this is of course 100% based on speculation, but I assume that you can connect to a VPN but you cannot access any resource inside the local network. Just because this is the most basic mistake that beginners usually make. And it's related to the fact that your pi is not your default gateway. To solve this, you need to enable SNAT on the local Pi interface. There are many guides on the Internet on how to do this.

P.S. Unfortunately, I have a poor telepathy skill, so it would be good to get a little more background. At least an accurate description of the problem. =)
