    You can have multiple routes. If you put your download software in one network namespace which only has the route via VPN to the internet (default / 0.0.0.0 / ::) you can make sure that it always downloads via VPN. You can still provide services via another route. To be 100% sure I’d also use a firewall for this.

    every time I have my VPN connected to download content, my server is unavailable

    Is that the inbuilt kill-switch of your VPN? Which VPN software do you use, which provider?

      Thanks for the explanation. Hopefully I can figure all that out when the time comes.

      “Is that the inbuilt kill-switch of your VPN? Which VPN software do you use, which provider?”

      To be clear I meant remote access and access on other devices. So I can still access my JellyFin server on my computer when my vpn is connected, but if I try to access it on my TV or outside my home network it tells me the server is down. I’ve always assumed it’s just because the vpn is hiding my actual ip that my server is connected to so other devices can’t see it.
