Hi.
I'm using OpenVpn on Linux Mint, I wonder if there is any way to let only some specific applications use the openvpn tunnel?

You may be able to use "policy based routing" ..

I'm sorry I made a mistake, Actually I'm using openconnect via terminal, I saw the link you suggested but will you explain a little further?

Unlike, for example: a software firewall, OpenVPN cannot route specific applications or even ports. Policy based routing can but that is outside the scope of this forum.
