TuneBlade 1.8 and VPN issue

[Nicola Possi]

Hi,
I'm trying to make TuneBlade work when NordVPN is connected.

at first when I connect to vpn the list of my players goes blank and the only way to make them come back is to disconnect from vpn.
I tried to use the split tunneling feature of NordVPN, excluding tuneblade and the bonjour service exe (mDNSResponder) from vpn use and now I can still see the players but if I try to connect under my speaker I see a circle and a "Resolving" text but after a few seconds it turns back to "Disconnected".
Probably I need to exclude some more process or application from vpn use...anyone as any idea?

Thank you

Hi there,

Just to let people know, if anyone looks for an answer. I don't know if you managed to solve this, but TuneBlade's AirPlay is ran through the Bonjour service, usually installed by iTunes but in this case managed by TuneBlade. The executable that runs this is "mDNSResponder.exe", located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour". You can use your VPN's split tunneling feature to prevent this service to go through the VPN, and TuneBlade's AirPlay should now work again.
