Exclude P2P traffic from VPN

Mon Mar 28, 2022 1:46 pm

Hi!

I have VPN setup for 10.10.10.0/24 network via IKEv2 / IPSEC and I'd like to exclude all torrent traffic from VPN (because download is really slow).
I've previously managed to exclude specific websites from VPN using the mark connection mangle rule, however, I'm wondering if the similar workaround is available for P2P traffic?

Torrent traffic is really difficult to recognize and mark, because there is no fixed port number, fixed content (header), etc.
It has evolved into this because of the many attempts to recognize and block (or rate-limit) it, and now it isn't really possible anymore to do what you want.
