A VPN does not differentiate between specific applications and does not handle routing at all, but only provides a network interface with a gateway.
Your operating system is responsible for routing, which usually only distinguishes between IP addresses, and other rules are not possible. If you really need the IP address to be changed only in one program, we recommend that you install a virtual machine on which you can run any application, and work with your real IP address on the main operating system.
If you need to change the IP address only in your browser, use private proxies. But do not forget that then all anonymity and your security as a whole are lost.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind when changing your IP address:
- Security: When you change your IP address, you are essentially hiding your identity online. This can make it more difficult for hackers and other malicious actors to track you down.
- Privacy: Changing your IP address can also help to protect your privacy. Your ISP and other third parties will not be able to see what websites you are visiting or what apps you are using.
- Location: Changing your IP address can also be used to spoof your location. This can be useful for accessing geo-restricted content or for bypassing censorship.
