How to use OVPN only on Steam?

[cheech790]

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.
