Imgur has geo-blocked the UK, causing broken links across various platforms.
The author encountered issues with Minecraft shader previews hosted on Imgur.
Using a VPN was considered but deemed impractical due to speed loss and device management.
A network-level solution was implemented using Pi-hole, Traefik, Gluetun, and Nginx.
The setup intercepts Imgur requests and routes them through a VPN without client-side changes.
The solution is transparent, works on all devices, and maintains high-speed internet for non-Imgur traffic.
