Using a VPN for privacy and security on a Unix machine. There are a few sites that I can only access through my whitelisted IP for work. Is there a way to automatically turn off my VPN (or route traffic using my static IP) when accessing certain websites? Hoping to do this outside of application settings and in config files.

  • It is unclear whether you are using a VPN on a system that is not supposed to have one, in which case it's off-topic, for circumventing employer network regulations, or if it's a private computer that you can do what you want with, in which case it's off-topic because it's not about systems administration in a business environment. I'm voting to move it, but I'd also suggest that you edit your question to include some information about the configuration of your VPN software. – Jenny D Sep 26 '17 at 09:07

You simply need to add routes for the whitelisted IPs in your OS configuration. For example, if the destination is 192.168.100.100 and your ISP gateway/router is192.168.1.1, you use:

route add 192.168.100.100 gw 192.168.1.1
