Haha, I did this very thing today. imgur.com domain routed out via Windscribe.
I wonder how long before there's an 'OSA' list maintained on GitHub.
Is there a guide for that online?
Most likely. Generally just grab a config file from your chosen VPN provider, add it into UniFi in the VPN client section, then add policy based routes. In this case a domain one, pointing imgur.com to the VPN.
I have a config file from Nord, i just need to figure out how to route certain traffic through the VPN and not all.
Depending on the version you are on, something like Settings > Policy Engine > New Policy > Route > Call it whatever you want > Policy based and set the interface to VPN you configure > leave default apart from domain name > add in some domain.name > done. You can add more than one domain.
I should add that any domain name you add will be visible by Ubiquiti support staff if you open a case. edit I can't spell imgur.com, CBA changing the screenshot.

Google AI literally came described the same method.
Am I right in thinking that this only works if DNS is managed by your Unifi router? And won’t work if you’re using an adblocker for exampleDepending on the version you are on, something like Settings > Policy Engine > New Policy > Route > Call it whatever you want > Policy based and set the interface to VPN you configure > leave default apart from domain name > add in some domain.name > done.

Postimage strikes again, really need to sort my own image host out.
Yes @Bluecube you need to have clients use the UniFi Gateway as their DNS server, and configure it to point to an upstream DNS server.
No idea about browser ad blocks, I don't use them as I have AdGuard Home.
I did request that a note be added to say that the gateway myst be used as the DNS server for it to work in the UI but they responded with the usual 'we can't comment on future development/roadmaps etc'.

Do Imgur have any legal entity that falls under the jurisdiction of UK law?
I don’t know but it doesn’t really matter, GDPR applies globally, that was the whole point of it.
Does the GDPR apply to companies outside of the EU? - GDPR.eu
Under certain conditions, the GDPR applies to companies that are not in Europe. In this article, we’ll explain when and how the GDPR applies outside the EU. The European...

The above is an EU link but the UK’s GDPR is pre Brexit legislation so it’s the same.

Yes & No...
Yes, the domain routing will only work if DNS is provided by your Unifi router, however there are some workarounds you can use.
For example, I use Pihole, but also use some domain based routing. For Pihole, go to your admin console>Settings>DNS>Toggle on Expert settings (if not already)>Conditional Forwarding. Put the domains you want to go through your VPN here in the required format. Basically, this will forward any DNS requests for the domains you add here to your Unifi Router instead, meaning your unifi router is the DNS for those domains & therefore the domain based policies work.
Currently with virgin media for broadband, FTTP has just been released in my area. Currently I have a USG-3P plugged into my VM router which is in modem only mode.
WOuld I connect my USG-3P directly into the ONT for the fibre, or would I have the same sort of setup as with virgin?
Thanks

You should be considering retiring the USG-3P as it's long EoL and not receiving any security updates. But yes, most FTTP has a ethernet cable from the ONT to the WAN on the Router.

Is it actual fibre or still via the coax copper into the home but high speed? Branding can sometimes be confusing, not sure how they are referring to it now.
If it’s Virgin via coax, then you’ll need to keep the VM hub in modem mode and connect that to any new router.
I have Virgin fibre direct into the home and they do not give an ONT but a crappy router (Hub 5x) that doesn’t support modem mode so if you want to run your own router you need to double NAT or get creative with replacing the Hub but I would say the latter is risky and experts only. Double NAT is what I do and it’s working ok, but it could be a dealbreaker depending on your uses.

Full fibre released, ie BT openreeach. So a provider using their network..
What would you recommend @DIABLO
Thanks

The UCG-Ultra is the direct replacement and is good for 1000/1000 Internet and runs the controller on-board. The cream of the crop is the UCG-Fiber, which may or may not be overkill. Then you have the UCG-Max, which is somewhere in the middle.

Having all sorts of connection issues on my network this last week, mainly poor signal with devices that never struggled before. Have tried scanning and changing channels but not sure if it's helped much. Has there been a dodgy update?
