Is there a way to exempt a particular browser/program from running through vpn?

VPN

I ask this because if it were so it would be easier to access websites that block vpn like netflix etc without having to switch off the entire VPN

There is. My mobile/cellular provider do unmetered Spotify and Netflix, so I wanted to bypass the VPN to access their servers. (What was that about net neutrality, Netflix?)

I started to suss this out in this post.

An example of what I use to bypass VPN for Netflix is here (add the code to your .ovpn file) however this might also enable some extra traffic leakage.

Netflix use a huge array of IP addresses. If you route based on their AS number alone you won’t capture everything you need, and most ISPs also run a mirror.

If you have a specific website (and it’s IP) in mind, you can bypass the VPN by adding the following this line to your .ovpn config file, where x.x.x.x is the IP you want to bypass the VPN with:

 route x.x.x.x 255.255.255.255 net_gateway

With open vpn for android, it’s one of the last tab.

How do I find out the Netflix Germany IP’s? nslookup don’t seem to display off of them, at least I can’t access Netflix with these IP’s. I use Windows, if that matters.

This is how my ovpn file looks: # ============================================================================== - Pastebin.com

Thanks in advance!

I’ll try it, thanks :).
