OpenVPN Support Forum

Good afternoon,
I would like to know if there is currently any way to exclude an application from going through the vpn. I'm using the vpn as a privacy device, but when it comes to gaming, it adds enough latency to be noticeable and therefore I would like to not use the vpn while gaming, but instead of turning the vpn on and off every time I wanted to play a game, I was wondering if there was a way to whitelist or blacklist some applications in order to bypass the vpn, would come in really handy for gaming
thanks in advance!

Hello Pedro9700,

At this time the OpenVPN Connect program does not differentiate per application - only by IP. You could make bypass rules just for specific IPs of certain servers.

Kind regards,
Johan

Any thoughts on implementing such a feature?
