Use Unbound to redirect youtube.com to invidious? (lemmy.world)

Has anyone tried to use unbound (or even a hosts file) to redirect requests to youtube to an invidious instance? It seems pretty trivial in my head but I cannot find any reference to it online

Ah that makes sense, I hadn’t considered that https would mess this up. I actually already use libredirect on Firefox on my desktop, I was just hoping to set up a network wide redirect. Thanks for the help!

You can always load up your own custom CA and generate certs on the fly but it gets really complicated compared to even rolling out a custom browser addon to do the same much more easily and reliably.
