How to route network traffic through a VPN (OpenVPN/TunnelBlick) ONLY for specific websites/IPs only on macOS / OS X (static routing)
Raw
Selective VPN traffic routes.txt
Add the following line at the top of your .ovpnfile to prevent it from routing all network traffic on your Mac through
the VPN:
route-nopull
Next add the following line to allow the VPN to reroute traffic ONLY for a given IP address / domain (if you need to enable it
for a domain you can use its IP address):
route 1.2.3.4
This can also be used to enable selective traffic re-routing for IP subnets. By adding "route 62.42.34.0", you will enable the
VPN for all IP addresses between 62.42.34.1-255.
Multiple rules can also be added by duplicating the "route 1.2.3.4" line and changing the IP / subnet.

Hi Team, my config is as below:

route-nopull
route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
client
nobind
dev tun
proto udp
sndbuf 0
rcvbuf 0
remote Y.Y.X.C
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
explicit-exit-notify 3
persist-key
persist-tun
remote-cert-tls server

But I am failing to ping the Internet whilst I am connected to my VPN...can you kindly point out where I am wrong? i.e
└─$ ping 4.2.2.2
PING 4.2.2.2 (4.2.2.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
