        Here is a (hopefully) complete list containing all Valve Servers: https://bgp.he.net/AS32590#_prefixes
        Create an Alias for it with all Prefixes and move the Firewall Rule on top, delete your other Rules.

            You add the networks as they are reported in the List, not single host.

                @Rico oh my gosh thank you so much it now bypasses steam and the downloads are rapid, So to do this bypass for netflix would I need to find their Ips aswell ?

                Cus they got allot more some Ipv6 do you know a fast way to import them ?

                also how can I check if my port bypasses are working and some games use 80 and 443 as there ports so how would I vpn bypass those without literally vpn bypassing every site?

                sorry for so many questions and thanks for the help

                  Well you can also use the import function.

                  Port 80 and 443 is http and https, not possible to exclude only games by these ports.
                  Depending on the goal you try to accomplish, maybe it is better and even easier to build the setup to have your WAN_DHCP as default and create the Rules for stuff you want to send out via VPN?

                    @Rico Yeah I agree however what I want to use the VPN is torrenting and web browsing so it easier to bypass other things rather than chose the ones I want

                      Hmmm personally I would never send out any of my Web traffic through some VPN provider.
                      For example, if I login to my bank account, Paypal or even stuff like amazon...I don't want to send this kind of traffic to any third parties even if it is encrypted.

                          So a option could be to use one machine for your regular stuff, working, steam, netflix, ... and another machine for anything you want to exit out the VPN by source IP, torrent and websites you browse with this machine.
                          This second machine could be either physical or virtual.
