"outside the VPN tunnel" problem

[milesgb 0]

Hi

I tried to add my public IP to Eddie's routing rule screen so that I can access my public facing jellyfin server while connected to the VPN (my server geo blocks - as soon as I hit it through the VPN, everything is rejected).
I am running Eddie on Windows 11. My gateway is 10.0.0.1. Let's say my public IP is 69.69.69.69. My LAN IP is 10.0.0.163.
I added my IP (no range) and selected "Outside the VPN tunnel".
My server still blocks my traffic. So I run a tracert and see that my traffic is hopping its way back from the VPN server in the country I am connected to.
I run "route print 69.69.69.69"

Eddie has inserted a rule, but the gateway is wrong.

I change my routing table "route CHANGE 69.69.69.69 MASK 255.255.255.255 10.0.0.1 metric 35 if 5"

My traffic to my public IP now travels directly, not down the VPN.

If you require more info, please let me know. Edited ... by milesgb

Close Eddie and reopen, connect, then provide a support file for further info and troubleshooting. Do not edit the route after the connection..

This time, it correctly routed my external IP to gateway 10.0.0.1 instead of 192.168.0.254.

I checked the log before I restarted Eddie, and it showed the following for my public IP route, indicating it was trying to route to the proper gateway, but you can see from the route prints I copied above that it didn't. 

Routes, add 69.69.69.69/32 for interface "Ethernet (Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I219-LM)".

I'll keep an eye on it and comment again if it happens again.
