I have never used VPNs before, so please forgive me if this question is stupid:
I have a free trial for an VPN provider and i want to see if it is possible to ONLY route my bittorrent traffic through the VPN, while surfing etc through my usual ISP connection. I can set my bittorrent client to use the VPN providers proxy server, but this proxy server requires me to be logged in to the vpn, too.
So my idea is to log into the VPN (via OpenVPN GUI on Windows 7) and change my config file to bypass the tunneling part. First from what i understood it wasn't possible at all, without changing the server configuration. But then i found this
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/w ... ectGateway
telling me to add those lines to my vpn clients config file:
Code: Select all
route 0.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 net_gateway
route 64.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 net_gateway
route 128.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 net_gateway
route 192.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 net_gateway
Now my config file looks like this
Code: Select all
# AzireVPN.com configuration generator
# Location: netherlands
# Protocol: udp
# Port: random
# DNS-leak protection: yes
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote nl1.ovpn.azirevpn.net 1194

resolv-retry infinite
auth-user-pass

persist-tun
remote-cert-tls server
reneg-sec 0
keepalive 10 60
block-outside-dns
mute-replay-warnings
explicit-exit-notify 3
cipher AES-256-CBC
auth SHA512
tls-version-min 1.2
route 0.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 net_gateway
route 64.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 net_gateway
route 128.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 net_gateway
route 192.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 net_gateway
Theres no error with this new config file, but it doesn't change anything as far as i can tell. Whatismyip still returns the netherland IP from my VPN provider. I expected to see my real, german IP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
