Does anyone know how to enable the split tunnel feature in the Eddie client on macOS? I’ve heard that newer Macs don’t support this feature. Are there any other workarounds I can use?

I have a media server set up on my MacBook Pro m1. I’m trying to figure out a way to only use the split tunnel feature for Qbittorrent through the Eddie client or OpenVPN/WireGuard. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I’m in virtually the same situation, although qbit is running in Docker through a Gluetun/Wireguard tunnel, so that part works fine.

    I really wanted to do split tunnel on my Mac to access my tracker’s site (all Linux ISOs, of course) through the same tunnel, and haven’t had any success.

    My workaround is running LibreWolf (modded Firefox) in the same stack, through the same tunnel. It’s not ideal, but at least it works.

    Do update if you find a solution!

      The Docker version you’re using supports VPN? I used VPN+QBit Docker on my old Unraid server. You just put the VPN configuration file in the /config folder, and it worked seamlessly without disrupting any other services.

      I have seen some people mention using a vm as an alternative. I’m not familiar with how it would work.

      I have also tried using OpenVPN and WireGuard with AirVPN; however, Mac versions do not have the split tunnel feature at all.

        Gluetun is running in a container in the same stack as Qbit, and Qbit knows to get its network through Gluetun.

        network mode > service > gluetun or something similar (syntax is def. wrong) in the Compose.

        Gluetun is connected to AirVPN through / with / using (?) WireGuard. I’m actually a bit foggy on the terminology 😅

    Eddie doesn’t allow for split tunneling. I setup WireSock on Windows which allows you to split tunneling using a wireguard config generated from AirVPNs site. I don’t know if they have a Mac client, but you might check into it.

      Yes, I only want to use a VPN. However, when I turn on a VPN, I encounter several other problems. For instance, I have difficulty consistently verifying that I’m not a bot on most websites. Additionally, YouTube videos don’t play at all unless I’m logged in.
