Specific VPN Traffic Routing

[perplexddd]

This summer I've been beginning to set up an HTPC server/NAS Drive but have been faced with a problem I am unable to resolve myself and am hoping someone here could help me.

My set up is going to be as follows: a PC running Windows XP SP3 running Plex Server (to stream movies & tv shows around the house), Calibre (to maintain an eBook library), Subsonic (to maintain a music database), and uTorrent (to download torrents automatically as Couchpotato & Sickbeard will also be running). I also have a VPN service and would like it running all the time on the computer. Is there any way I can run the VPN for all traffic, excluding traffic to the local network aka Plex, Calibre, and Subsonic? I'm afraid using Plex on a VPN will extremely affect it's performance both locally and outside of the house. Any solutions I've missed to help solve this? Thanks!

That would be something to ask your vpn provider.

You need to run a seperate machine to function as a gateway (router) and VPN to do that

For Windows you will need to buy something like Kerio Connect (formerly known as Winroute) or build a Linux box and use Zebra .

How exactly would a mail server help me? Wouldn't it be a better option to use VirtualBox or VMWare?

Ah yes it would have been better had I posted the right links.
