+# services/imgur-vpn.nix — route imgur out a WireGuard tunnel, network-wide
+#
+# imgur geo-blocks UK IPs, so LAN clients need a non-UK exit for imgur only.
+# imgur.com / i.imgur.com / api.imgur.com all resolve to two Fastly anycast
+# /24s; we send just those prefixes down the tunnel and leave everything else
+# on eno1.
+#
+# ponytail: static prefixes, not a DNS-driven nftset. Other Fastly customers
+# sharing these /24s ride the tunnel too — harmless, just a longer path. If
+# that ever matters, add dnsmasq `nftset=` + fwmark policy routing instead.
+#
+# Setup (one-off, on the mediaserver):
+#   1. Fill in peerPublicKey / peerEndpoint / tunnelAddress below from your
+#      VPN provider's WireGuard config (pick a non-UK exit).
+#   2. Write the private key, no trailing newline, readable by systemd-network:
+#        install -m600 -o systemd-network -g systemd-network \
+#          /dev/stdin /var/secrets/wg-imgur.key <<< '<PRIVATE_KEY>'
+#   3. Rebuild. Verify:  curl --interface wg-imgur https://api.imgur.com/
+{ config, lib, ... }:
