Should I Exclude or Include for Split Tunneling for Proton VPN?
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Ultimately, I only want to use Proton VPN for torrenting and seeding, while not using Proton VPN for browsing the internet, using Steam and Discord (essentially everything else).
For Split tunneling in Proton VPN, should I use Exclude Mode to exclude Chrome, Steam, Discord, etc., or should I just use Include Mode to include qbittorrent?
If I use Exclude Mode, will I need to add (exclude) my IP address, so that I'm using my IP address for everything other than torrenting/seeding? Also, if I am using Include Mode, I don't know if I need to manually add the IP from whatever country's IP I connected to.
Thank you.
If you only want to tunnel a few apps use include mode. Just add the torrent client to the app include list, bind to the VPN interface in your torrent client settings, and you should be good to go.
