DomainVPNRouting Domain VPN Routing v3.2.3 ***Release***

Hi—quick pre-install question:

Is there a way to route selected domains to a “blackhole” (i.e., drop/null-route DNS or traffic) rather than sending them through an active VPN tunnel? I’d like to experiment with domain-level blocking to see whether it can reduce ads on streaming TV services (e.g., UK Channel 5, Channel 4, ITVX).

If that capability doesn’t exist yet, is it something @Ranger802004 might consider adding (for example, an option to assign specific domains to a sinkhole/blackhole policy instead of a VPN policy)?

Thanks.

Thats a function of DNSmasq in you jffs/config directory, there should be a file call dnsmasq.conf.add

Add either top level domains or a specifc domain, both examples below:

address=/microsoft.com/0.0.0.0
address=/zip/mov/foo/nexus/dad/phd/prof/esq/boo/rsvp/new/day/club/icu/ru/store/top/0.0.0.0

Also, what you are asking seems to be more of a function of Diversion Ad Blocker.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understandit it, if I have an active VPN connection, that would bypass dnsmasq.conf.add?

No. If dnsmasq sinkholes, there is nothing else that occurs. Never ever reaches this script in the first place.
