redirect programs to use openvpn tunnel

ZatTheGreat

Hi guys! this is my first post here so forgive me if I place it wrong.

I resently bought a vpn service from integrity.st and have no trouble to setup the connection. but my problem is that I only whant to use the tunnel for some programs like utorrent or maybe a browser. I can se that the server uses the redirect-gatway def1 command. how do i do o not let it redirect my gateway? and how can I route some programs to use my tunnel?

here is my client config file. of course so do I not have the server config file

client
dev tun
proto udp

remote openvpn.integrity.st 1196
remote openvpn2.integrity.st 1196
remote openvpn3.integrity.st 1196
remote openvpn4.integrity.st 1196

remote-random
resolv-retry infinite
reneg-sec 0
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
ns-cert-type server
tls-auth tls.key 1
comp-lzo
verb 3
mute 10
auth-user-pass
explicit-exit-notify 2
cipher aes-256-cbc

I hope you guys have an easy solution for me!
thanks!

by using route no-pull your client does not accept any routing info sent by your server,

AFAIK you can redirect traffic based on port/ip not based on app,see policy based routing.

Yes but It wont do what I are planing to do. I have searching all over for a solution and think that a local proxy or socks server on my computer and redirect it to my vpn tunnel would be the best solution. But I dont know how to setup the routing table and what proxy to use. Is there any guide for this? And do I need to do something in my openvpn config file?

I'm having the same issue which I've posted what I've figured out so far. Maybe we can figure something out together

One method I tried was a localhost squid server, but I keep running into problems with it being crasy slow or fails to use DNS.

I hoped ForceBindIP would work like it does for Hamachi but no luck. Any ideas?

I'm not familiar with the force bind command and I and think that is the hard way to go. what I have read and thinks the easiest way to should be local proxy server on your pc where you redirect your programs to which in the other hand is rededicated over the VPN (only proxy) but I don't know how to do this and I can´t find any guides on how to do this. I have not tried squid but I know about it but I don't like programs without a GUI, was it hard to get it to work? Have you find ant other helpful info about our problem?
