How to set Steam to Bypass a VPN?

[Vachie]

Good day,
I'm wanting to make sure Steam uses my ISP connection with my real IP Address, without requiring me to disable my VPN altogether.

Anyone know how I can go about this?

"While having a VPN enabled, how do I have Steam ignore this and use my real connection and real IP address automatically?"

This is not a place to debate VPN use. As a whole, VPNs/Proxy are not allowed as seen in Subscriber agreement.

There are several reasons for letting certain IPs or websites bypass the VPN connection, so they are used with your real IP and connection instead.
For example:

if a certain website is blocking access to foreign IPs, so you can only access it with your real IP

if websites and services forbid the use of VPN, so your account won't get restricted or suspended

if you cannot access a local machine in your network while the VPN is connected (e.g. server, other computer or network device of any kind)

I'm trying to use split tunnelling to bypass a VPN. I bypass steam.exe, steamwebhelper.exe and steamservice.exe. However this doesn't work and Steam still tries to connect through the VPN. Is there a process I missed?

Using a VPN isn't against the SSA per se. Using a VPN to bypass region restrictions or otherwise defraud Valve be misrepresenting your location is. There's legitimate uses for VPN's, no one is confused by that. But like a lot of tools, they can be used for good or bad.
