I understand setting your DNS to cloudfare helps staying anonymous out there. So if someone sets a Pi Hole linked to Cloudfare does it cover one's tracks? Together with a VPN.

DNS is not anonymous. its basically like a phone book, you lookup the name and it gives you a number. That's it. Your ISP may refuse to give you the number (IP) for a name (address) but thats it. PiHole just gives a local IP for ad domains and gets its requests from other dns servers and caches them locally for a time.

See here for a list of dns providers
