      Hi all.

      I have set up PIA with the "route-nopull" under advanced configuration.

      I then created a Firewall Lan rule to make a ip range use the PIA Gateway.
      Everything is working like it should, but I can no longer access my utorrent gui on tcp 5548 from WAN.

      Can i route only tcp 5548 to use WAN and not VPN, but everything else should use VPN?

      Sorry, have done a lot of reading but can't figure out how to do it.
      Would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

        Sure.  Just create the port forward and insert it ahead of the rule routing traffic out your VPN.

          Doesn't need to be a port forward. Just put a rule above the one that policy routes to PIA for that destination and don't set a gateway on it.

          DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
