I beg for app split-tunneling on Eddie

[nic.lvp 0]

I have been facing a predicament for months, which is that Steam thinks i'm a bot and doesn't let me play any multiplayer games in.. multiplayer, and I can't turn my VPN off to use all 5 ports on it to host numerous servers. The problem is, there isn't a way to IP or domain whitelist Steam, since I don't know any of the ip's it uses to connect, and they change alot. This is where app-based tunneling would shine though, and here is why

1. App based tunelling would most likely save you guys alot of bandwidth, now people can tell the VPN to send web browser connections through their actual internet, and then you won't have alot of traffic taken up by YouTube streams
2. This defeats the need to switch to other clients, which is clunky and complicated.
3. It lets you do everything in one app (Eddie), which is extremely convenient and simple for newcomers to use, probably bringing more subscribers to the VPN too since split-tunneling is a useful feature
4. It straight up lets you split tunnel some stuff in the first place, such as Steam i've already mentioned, which uses a variety of ip's and domains i don't know, and i'm not about to spend a few hours in wireshark getting all the ip's/domains and adding them.

So please, 4 good reasons on why app split-tunneling should be added to Eddie.

P.S. another thing I noticed was that the split-tunneling already in Eddie didn't seem to work until I reconnected the VPN, is this a limitation, a bug, or just something that isn't added?

Hello!

We do agree and we are planning to implement on our software per app traffic splitting on Windows too. Currently you can enjoy per app traffic splitting on Linux (AirVPN Suite) and Android (Eddie Android edition). If the machine you use for Steam is based on Linux you can already have per app traffic splitting with our software.

If you run Windows, in the meantime you can consider WireSock, which offers traffic splitting and reverse traffic splitting (on an application basis) and is fully compatible with our WireGuard servers. The Configuration Generator will generate the profiles you wish.

Kind regards
