Can I bypass VPN for local network or certain apps?

Gold95

Is it possible to bypass VPN for my LAN or for certain apps?

For example, accessing Valetudo, Frigate, Home Assistant et cetera is not possible with VPN connected. I have to disable the VPN, turn on the vacuum cleaner, and re-enable the VPN.

Not only is it tedious, but I tend to forget to turn the VPN on again.

Is it possible to either:

bypass VPN for local network; or
bypass VPN for certain apps; or
automatically re-enable VPN after 10 minutes?

Gold95 this entirely depends on your provider. For example, I use PIA; and they allow not only LAN access but they allow per app access or otherwise known as split tunneling. I have to toggle these on specifically, but if your provider allows it yes you are able to perform it

Gold95 most recommended VPN apps here are IVPN and Mullvad, and ProtonVPN to some extent.

I'm using IVPN and Mullvad on my 2 GOS devices, and both support local network bypass and split tunneling (per app bypass), so your first two points are covered. You'll have to use their official, Open Source apps for this. As for the third point, you might be able to automate this via tasker but I assume it's a workaround solution for your problem in case the first two don't work anyway.

I assume Proton and many other popular VPN providers offer these features as well (in case your subscription is not running out any time soon, check the settings in the official VPN app and you might be lucky).
