I use my VPN for privacy reasons, connecting from the UK via a UK server. I also use Netflix. It’s frustrating having to disable my VPN every time I want to watch Netflix, so I was wondering if there was a way to connect to Netflix via my normal connection, but everything else through the VPN?
You need to make an alias for your router containing all the Amazon AWS servers in a list and a rule for your firewall to bypass the VPN to the WAN when connecting to them. They use the same service as Netflix to detect VPN, there are a couple of guides on doing so for OpenWRT, DDWRT, and pfSense based routers. Google for bypass VPN for netflix for the list of servers and some instructions. You can find the list here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/48prww/amazon_aws_whitelist_using_vpn_gateway_for/
It defeats the purpose of the VPN for those services, but it is the best solution for now I’ve found.
I’d be curious to know if there was an answer to this as well.
For security reasons, you probably don’t want an automated way of turning off your VPN through a 3rd party add-on or software. You could try writing an open source one though
Its probably highly dependent on what your running PIA on; Android, windows, iOS, linux etc
