Posted June 7, 2019 Hello! I am a small content creator and have recently started to stream. However I have a bit of a problem, my ISP throttles all connections that go outside the country (i currently live in Peru). To bypass this I am using a VPN. Unfortunately, the only VPN that would run at a reasonable upload speed was HotSpot Shield (i tried NordVPN, ExpressVpn, And PIA). Which doesn't have split tunneling... The ping I get is waaay too high for most games or even discord... My question is if it is possible to only have OBS (streaming program) run through the VPN and everything else to go through the "normal" route. I have noticed that HotSpot Shield uses a virtual network adapter (TAP-Windows Adapter V9). I am using Windows 10 Home 64 bit. And I use an ethernet cable connected directly to the motherboard. There aren't any other NIC's. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 7, 2019 Not really anyway to do it with consumer VPNs unless the VPN app supports it (some do, Hotspot Shield does not).

Posted June 7, 2019 Author Hmm, another way I thought of doing it was by using a virtual machine. Having Obs and the VPN run in the virtual machine and using the NDI plugin to connect it to the pc... but I don't know if it would work either or if my computer would handle it. Its an i74930k with 32gb of ddr3 RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 7, 2019 Author Welp, i tried using a virtual machine and i managed to get it all working with the VPN etc etc... however... the amount of cpu power needed is colossal. This meant that 80% was being used without even opening a game. In conclusion, the only way is to either put up with it, move to a different country, or have a second machine that that is in charge of encoding the information and uses the vpn. or trick the vpn with a virtual NIC or something.... which im not capable of doing lol....

Posted June 7, 2019 If the OBS destination has a know IP actually: yes. All the VPN does to your routing table is adding routes Open up a command prompt and check with "route print". Try setting a new default route with your normal interface with a lower metric and a route to your VPN interface with for the IP of the destiation with an even lower metric.
