So, I have a pretty alright VPN provider, but I’ve been looking for a self-hosted solution to allow me to say “Hey, if you’re trying to hit www.domain.com, go through this VPN tunnel instead” but still run everything else straight through. Lots of options exist, I have one that would be perfect that we utilize at my company, but I haven’t found a good solution that doesn’t utilize enterprise level pricing.
You can use foxyproxy (browser extension) with SOCKS5 proxies to ssh tunnels to various hosts based on the URL pattern. Maybe too kludgey for your use case.
Yeah, I’ve seen that one, but I’m looking for something at the router level or something I can run on linux and just have everything run through. I have CLI-based options that are super janky… I’m probably just being too picky.
I think it needs to be on the client app (web browser) before it gets sent thru the VPN. Your router won’t be able to read the http header to see what the URL is (to decide which VPN to use).
I know it’s doable in general because I’ve done it in an enterprise environment, just seems to be a real pain in the ass at the consumer level which is not surprising, it’s a weird use case.
Where I work we have a system that kind of combines a proxy and a solution that approximates the same functionality as a VPN, and it’s all in one cohesive package. I know my first stop will have to be some sort of proxy, but my ideal is basically just a friendlier UI to manage it and for whatever proxy or proxy-like solution to include tunneling options out of the box.
It’s a complicated ask, but I feel like it’s becoming more useful. Supposedly, Squid can do it with a few extra pieces and that might end up being the solution.
Get a cheap vps. Set up wire guard. Set up routes that pass through wire guard. In this case porn hubs IP’s go through the vps. Be aware that some vps providers IP blocks are often blocked by cloudflare and other similar services. So it pays to check out the IP rep of the vps provider before you choose.
I know this is a joke, but that would require them to put actual effort into their shit ass slow ui that’s had the same stupid bugs for the past 15 years and still doesn’t have a search function that gives you what you fucking searched for.
