Using VPN with SABNZBD and newsreaders.

Post by mkygod »

I'm thinking about getting a VPN service, but i don't plan on using it for my entire computer. Is there a way to set my computer up so the VPN only gets used with SABNZBD and newsreaders? If so, how would i go about doing this? Are there any tutorials out?

Most VPN take over all network traffic.
Some may offer you multiple network interfaces.
However, SABnzbd doesn't offer you the option to select an interface per server.
You would have to setup static routing for your Usenet servers.
There is some info about that in this forum,
but it's very OS dependent and a bit complicated.
