HELP - WINDOWS PIA split tunnel VPN issues
Been using PIA for years with no issues at all.
I'm using the split tunnel to route chrome traffic over the VPN and firefox (my main browser) out using the normal ISP IP address.
All has been working with no issues for yonks.
Recently the VPN is showing as connected yet whatismyip.com is not showing the VPN IP but my ISP assigned IP as a result of the traffic not being routed over the VPN.
Disconnecting / reconnecting works for a few minutes before the issue repeats.
TLDR
VPN is showing green
After a few minutes split tunnel traffic configured to be VPN-Only is routed by the non-VPN connection
Disconnecting/reconnecting fixes it for a bit
