Can I bypass the VPN with a browser?

[gelliss 3]

I'm on a site that requires I use my ISP's IP but I use the VPN a lot. Is there a way I can bypass the vpn in a browser like Firefox? I searched the forums and tried using forcebindIP as it was suggested to do this for a game. It took the command but didn't work. Firefox still shows my VPN IP I'm using Windows 7 64bit.

Any help?

Hello!

Since you only need to access one site bypassing the VPN, the quickest solution is a change to your routing table.

You can proceed as follows:

- determine the IP address(es) of the website you need to connect to bypassing the VPN. Let's call it a.b.c.d

- determine the IP address of the gateway of your physical network adapter (if you are unsure, type on a prompt "ipconfig /all"). Let's call it e.f.g.h

After you have connected to the VPN, open a prompt or a PowerShell with administrator privileges and type the command:

route -p add a.b.c.d e.f.g.h

Please note that the -p flag will make this route permanent, surviving to a reboot. Do not specify "-p" if you don't want it to be permanent. You can remove this route with:

route delete a.b.c.d

Each packet to a.b.c.d will get out unencrypted outside the tunnel.

Warning: proceed with caution. Any mistake might compromise your anonymity layer.

Kind regards

I actually got forcebindIP to work just before your message came through. I just didn't realize I had to run the command every time I wanted to launch a browser window. I thought it would bind the browser to the IP similar to the routing table method you gave.

Thanks much for your help.
