New to OPNsense and have DNS quesions

Hi there.
I have an old machine. i7-3770 32GB.
It has proxmox with OPNsense viirtualised with a quad port gigabit nic attached using IOMMU.
It has various virtual machines & obviously OPNsense.
I used to have pfsense but are glad a transitioned over.
Some proxmox containers I am using could now be redundant due to plugins.
The idea is to maybe buy a low power machine as a router only and use the present one just as a NAS.
I have setup dnscrypt setup and a pihole pointing to it. It works just fine.
Now I wish to replace pihole & a container with tor.
So for DNS I want ad & tracker blocking. There is an option in unbound it seems to set this up.
I want unbound to then use dnscrypt. DoH queries only.
Then dnscrypt to do DNS queries over tor. I think this is possible.
So DNS queries would go to unbound -> dnscrypt -> tor. I am aware it may have lag.
The purpose is for privacy & security is anyone has not already guessed.
I think tor initially requires DNS to start up & configure its routes.
Is this practical?
I have some networking knowledge, but have just started using opnsense. I am defintely not an expert.
I have basic linode VPS. It has ubuntu, pihole & openvpn installed.
I wish to install opnsense instead. It is tricky but doable.
So use openvpn server & the plugins I mentioned.
On proxmox I also have a lancache server. It is to cache game downloads. Is that available as a plugin?
Pointers appreciated.
Thanks
