| Your goal | Recommended action | |-----------|--------------------| | | Split-tunnel VPN – exclude Elgato apps from the VPN. Let them talk directly to LAN. | | Corporate compliance (force proxy) | Use a transparent bridge or a physical network tap. Don’t try to modify Elgato. | | Remote desktop control | Use RDP/VNC over VPN instead of forcing Elgato traffic through a proxy. | | Monitor Elgato’s internet calls | Run a local DNS sinkhole (Pi-hole) – it works even when proxy is bypassed. |

Then delete <local> from the bypass list. Note: This still fails for local device discovery.
