Trying to get split tunnel working for bittorrent but having no luck. I'm currently using express VPN and running a plex server on the same machine.

Ideally, I would like to have my VPN handling only my torrent traffic, so I'm still able to remotely access my server and download my Linux distros at the same time.

However, when trying to set up this way, bittorrent will attempt to find peers and start downloading but it never does.

I'm sure I'm not the only one running into the same issue. Not sure if it's a configuration issue in my torrent client (I'm open to recommendations for a new one), or if there's something else I need to include in addition to the bittorrent exe.

Thanks!
