How to force a single application to avoid a VPN tunnel and just use the LAN?

By Andrew Adams

I have two laptop computers on my local wireless network, and I control them both with Mouse Without Borders. It works fine, and the computers locate each other by name.

When I start Cisco VPN on both computers to connect to my work VPN, Mouse Without Borders stops working, because it can no longer communicate over the local network.

I do want all other traffic to go over the VPN, but I want Mouse Without Borders to stay off the VPN, so the computers using it can still communicate through it over the local wireless network. Obviously, the Mouse Without Borders instances on each machine cannot connect to each other if their traffic goes over the VPN.

How can I do this easily in Windows 10? Seems like a simple request to have a specific program avoid the Cisco VPN route and just stay on the local network.
