Are any of the things possible with ProtonVPN on Windows 10

  1. Is it possible to use ProtonVPN on Windows only from a particular browser -i.e. after connecting to Proton, if I am using 1 browser, it should go through the VPN, while another browser should use the native connection

  2. Irrespective of browser, only some routes should go through the VPN, others through the native connection.

  3. Opp of (2) – Only some routes through native connection, others through VPN

Proton VPN has an article on how to do one of the above on MacOS – https://protonvpn.com/support/vpn-bypass-macos/

But is any of this possible at all on Windows 10.
