OpenVPN Support Forum

Hello,

I'm trying to send nothing but Steam.exe over the VPN and the rest of my internet shall work without VPN. I've googled this and found the "Split-Tunneling" function of OVPN.
But every Tutorial I found just forward/block specific web pages/ IP adresses, how to forward steam and nothing else through the vpn?


Thank you in advance for your reply

1. Configure your OpenVPN client for a specific VPN server you want to use.
2. Open the *.ovpn file of the VPN server you'd like to use with any document viewer (e.g. Notepad).
At the top add 2 lines:
route-nopull -> prevents the VPN client from creating a standard rule that forces all traffic through the VPN connection
route 1.2.3.4 -> tells your machine what IPs should be used via VPN connection
Replace "1.2.3.4" with the IP you want being used via VPN connection.
3. Save the *.ovpn config file and connect to the VPN using it.

At least three lines are required as you must route the VPN server.
