Run only specific apps through a VPN?

by secondoptionusername

There is one app on my Android TV I use that requires me to be connected to another country via a VPN (using Nord VPN here). I turn the VPN on when I want to use the app, and then off once I'm done. Is there a way to always route that one app through the VPN?

Had the same issue a few months ago when I was with Nord, they told me the only way to do it was to whitelist all the apps that I didnt want to run via the VPN.

I've recently chanhed to Surfshark and now have the option to either whitelist or select apps that I want to run via the VPN. The speed with Surfshark as been excellent for me too.

I know it doesn't help you at the moment, however if you don't have long left with Nord maybe worth a change.

I'm not sure if Nord as implemented the feature at all so it's worth a check with them.

Windscribe also has allowlist or denylist for apps feature

I haven't tried it yet, but looks possible with the OpenVPN app, from what I remember NordVPN supports. https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/22959/how-to-vpn-only-a-single-application
