I have been trying to get Wildcard FDQN's working in routing with mixed results right now I'm having to list domains and sub-domains and it's getting quite tedious.

for example, I wish to allow/redirect all traffic to *.fbcdn.com to another link, I have this working listing each and every domain/subdomain, however, the wild card option seems not to be working.





I have made the appropriate wild cards but as said these seem not to work, Is it possible for someone to advise how I'm supposed to use this feature?

    Ok something to keep in mind about Wildcard FDQN vs non-Wildcard FDQN as non-wildcard are looked up by the USG and Wildcard FDQN are found by DNS lookups done to the USG or though the USG so if a client uses say Firefox with DNS over HTTPS the USG will not see the lookups.

    So you got clients connect by VPN to the USG?

    Can you not run a bind server where DNS is in the clear?

    Thank you, all DNS lookups are routed through VPN then to a SDNS (DOH) server on our side, So I'm guessing they're no way for me to resolve this easily.

    Thanks, I set up a raspberry pi with a Commercial grade VPN, Pihole and DNSCrypt works a treat, complements the USG very nicely.
