First of all, yes I know - split tunneling sucks. Well, I don't have many options left after Nord has all but shitcanned SOCKS5. My plan runs till next April, so I'm trying to get the most out of it.

Anyways, I've been messing around with split tunneling and it works successfully on my desktop. I can have qBittorrent displaying a Nord IP on http://ipleak.net but when I try to use it on my plex server the whole system connects to the VPN for ~5 mins and then shuts off. I whitelisted the services in windows defender but that didn't help at all. Anyone have any luck with split tunneling and torrent clients? I'm baffled as to why it works on one computer and not another.
