desktop-app VS vopono

You can also utilize Split tunneling for PoE only: https://github.com/TunnlTo/desktop-app

You can also use tunnel.to for this. It is a front-end for wiresock and gives a GUI for split tunneling. The only unfortunate part is that wiresock isn't yet open source, even though it's based on the open source BorintTun.

True! Could be decent when combined with something like TunnlTo.

Short answer is yes. https://github.com/TunnlTo/desktop-app

Completely wrong solution to OPs case. Actually for Windows, TunnlTo https://github.com/TunnlTo/desktop-app which is based on WS, will be way better. What I suggested is a way to tunnel only apps that support SOCKS5, to route them thru the already connected VPN tunnel.

Better off downloading the WireGuard config and using a dedicated split tunneling client like TunnlTo https://github.com/TunnlTo/desktop-app

I found this Wireguard client while searching on the web, but never tried it. https://github.com/TunnlTo/desktop-app

Not sure it's Wireguard or routing issue if NFS works. Maybe have a look at this tool to simplify per-app split tunnels: https://github.com/TunnlTo/desktop-app

Ask them to use a VPN client that supports split tunneling and then exclude your application https://github.com/TunnlTo/desktop-app

I use a wireguard instance of my VPN through TunnlTo. You should be able to get wireguard credentials from your VPN provider. https://github.com/TunnlTo/desktop-app

Vopono (https://github.com/jamesmcm/vopono):

"vopono is a tool to run applications through VPN tunnels via temporary network namespaces. This allows you to run only a handful of applications through different VPNs simultaneously, whilst keeping your main connection as normal.

vopono includes built-in killswitches for both Wireguard and OpenVPN."

I think for now on Linux you (still!) have to use external application to do the splitting. Such is vopono

I use vopono to manage it for me with Mullvad though.

you might want to check out vopono, i've gotten it working with firefox and its nice

I highly recommend using something like vopono with this on Linux that runs only the target application (e.g. Transmission) in a network namespace in the VPN and only forwards the specified ports and only allows traffic via the VPN.

This is why I use vopono - you can run just the torrent client in the VPN on its own and the killswitch keeps it safe.

You can find the option in the settings of windows and android apps. Unfortunately, it's Still not available for Linux. As a workaround for Linux, you can use vopono, which has OpenVPN support for Proton. Or just manually add routing table entries :)

I wrote vopono, I use it all the time for quickly spinning up browsers through different VPNs for checking geographical restrictions, etc.
