I have a GL-AX1800 running on 4.6.8. I have set up PIA VPN with a wireguard config and it works perfectly in global mode. However if I try to exclude based on target domain, the excluded domains are still sent through the vpn
Please make sure that your device uses the router as it's DNS server and that AdGuard Home handles client connections directly is turned off.
I havent done any DNS changes so I assume the router is handling DNS for all connected devices
Adguard home is not enabled
Are you using Chrome or Firefox? You might need to disable the secured DNS in those browsers: https://techdocs.akamai.com/etp/docs/disable-doh-browsers
Which domain do you want to exclude?
I am using brave with DNS options disabled
I am trying to exclude:
BBC.uk
That should have been
Can you try to disable and enable VPN on the router again? Sometimes it's needed for reloading the list.
I have disabled and enabled the vpn, cleared site data for BBC.co.uk and then tried to view a sports video, which the BBC does not allow through a vpn. It says this content does not seem to be working. Also whatsmyip still shows the VPN server ip in London, uk
The issue might be that the video will be loaded from other domains. By just adding the main domain to the exclusion list, you won't fight this issue. You might need to find a list of all domains that you need to exclude.
Terrible task, unfortunately.
This is the address in the URL. If its using another domain how would I find it, to see if it fixes my issue
BBC is pretty sneaky about it, can't really help with that, sorry 
Maybe searching the internet might give you some hint.
