You don't need to run Plex through a VPN just any torrent clients.

Different strokes for different folks, I run all traffic through a VPN.

Split tunneling wasnt quite working. I'll spend time on it some day.

Good luck! I had tried to get it working when I didn't have a VPN with split tunneling available and nothing I tried ever seemed to work back then.

We shall see. ProtonVPN has some handy features that make it beneficial for me to route all traffic through.

A local university sells surplused towers for $40, so my last resort is to get ime of those and only run plex on that computer and not have a VPN on that one.
