How to remote connect to PC that's always connected to a VPN? Windows 10 + RDP
https://www.wireguard.com/install/ is the wireguard installer for windows. I'm not sure where it stores its configuration files on windows, but I'm sure that's documented on their website somewhere. Then you can configure it according to this wiki article https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WireGuard (yes it's for Linux, but wireguard works basically the same whether on Windows or Linux)

Is the WireGuard Windows client still being developed?
It seems the current official WireGuard Windows client, version 0.5.3, hasn't been updated in quite some time now. The GitHub repo shows no changes this year.

PSA: Telekom customers can potentially fix their lag by using a VPN
You can also utilize Split tunneling for PoE only: https://github.com/TunnlTo/desktop-app

Does/Will AzireVPN support split-tunneling?
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.
-
AzireVPN added Port forwarding
True! Could be decent when combined with something like TunnlTo.
-
Run Mullvad ONLY with qBitTorrent?
Short answer is yes. https://github.com/TunnlTo/desktop-app
-
Opposite of split tunnel? I want VPN only on Mullvad browser.
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.
-
the split tunnel feature does not work at all
Better off downloading the WireGuard config and using a dedicated split tunneling client like TunnlTo https://github.com/TunnlTo/desktop-app

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

Parent company’s VPN is making my job impossible
Ask them to use a VPN client that supports split tunneling and then exclude your application https://github.com/TunnlTo/desktop-app

Plex keeps switching my Public IP from my actual IP address to my VPN IP address which then breaks remote access
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
