I'm using a constant VPN connection for privacy purposes. (I hate the laws, all the logging nowadays).

But when it comes to gaming, I don't really need encryption/hiding at all. I'd like to disable VPN for a given process like Steam+Xy.exe to make a game playable.

Is that possible? If yes, how?

(OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64)

You could use ForceBindIP (oh yes you can!) and run your Steam+Xy.exe games using the following command from the command prompt:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ForceBindIP.exe 192.168.0.1 "C:\Steam+Xy.exe"

Note - you will need to change the IP address in the above command to be your normal default gateway and make sure the path to the application Steam+Xy.exe is correct.

This will ensure that traffic for your application bypasses the VPN and goes straight out through your default gateway and out onto the internet.

Simple modify your current shortcuts, whether they are in the Start Menu, the Programs folder or on your desktop to the above command for ease of use.

This post is a little old, but if anyone is looking for a modern solution to this problem check out https://github.com/TunnlTo/desktop-app which is a Windows WireGuard client that allows application based split tunneling. It can also allow you to remove one particular application from the VPN connection as the original poster was asking for.
