Exclude ports from OpenVPN












1















I'm new here so if I somehow violated rules by e.g. posting in wrong category or with wrong tags - forgive me.



Anyway, straight to the point.
Important Note: I'm using Win10 Pro.



I'm struggling with excluding some ports from VPN. To be specific, I want to exclude all traffic to Steam (due to ping while playing) - here's the list of ports Steam uses.



Simply put, I wanna tell my computer that all traffic going through specific ports should go through the specific interface (without VPN).



So far I was only able to route some specific IP addresses to bypass VPN, however, that doesn't suit me at all (I do not know all IPs of steam servers ;p).
During my research, I ran across some ideas, but all of them were meant for Linux -e.g. here's some cool article about marking packets and then redirecting them to interface of my choosing.



Any tips/ideas on how to achieve that in Win10?
