SABnzbd+ using the wrong connection?

Post by lalalnx »

Hey guys, I've got a problem.  SABnzbd+ works great normally, but as soon as I connect to another network through a VPN, SABnzbd+ switches over to that VPN connection instead of my primary connection, instantly.

This is not desirable, as the VPN connection is far too slow.

Is there any way I tell SABnzbd+ to use my main connection instead of the VPN connection?

I am on Windows 7

No, you need to setup static routing for this.
It's not easy, but here's a useful reference:

Are you sure it isn't all your traffic routed through the VPN instead of just SABnzbd? If that's the case, you just need to uncheck "Use default gateway on remote network" (VPN connection properties / Networking tab / IPV4 Properties / Advanced).

Not sure if it always solves that, but I turn that off with my work VPN so that only traffic meant to my workplace internal network goes through the VPN

That was exactly the issue!  Thank you very much.
