Allowing games access through VPN

Hi there,

Was just wondering how it is possible to allow games to work when I have the VPN connected. I have added them into the Split Tunneling section in the settings but they cant get access. I am in the UK and I even changed the server location to USA but still cannot get access.

Any advice would be great

I contacted support and they ran me through some steps. After i removed the games exe file from the split tunnel, it started working. Only issue now is that it's causing my NAT to be strict in game and i don't know how to bypass it

I have the same issue. There are other services out there that allow you to change the NAT to a moderate NAT. I hope BitDefender will implement this too, so we don't have to look else where for our VPN services.

Yes, it was a hint to get it done and implemented ;)

Need to allow VPN on game server that I play on using only this info: 23.227.170.216:27910. There is no server name, just these series of numbers.

Sometimes VPNs can block certain game connections even with split tunneling. Try running the game as admin, or switch VPN protocols (like from UDP to TCP). Also, check if your firewall is blocking it.
