By putting it on your router, all your traffic is tunneled through the VPN, right?

I ask this in comparison to applying it at a finer-grained level, such as just a particular machine, or to an application, or to even a browser tab or particular domain. I feel like I would never want all my traffic VPN-ed because it is slow, there are greater privacy concerns of VPN operators, and my needs for VPNs are a cleanly-separable small chunk of my online activities.

I used Policy Based Routing so only imgur.com/i.imgur.com are redirected, everything else is as it was before.

I use Unifi Policy Based Routing to watch a streaming service from my home country. It is so easy to setup and works so well.

I'm planning to turn the VPN off when I don't need it. Mullvad is nice because you can just put money on the meter when you are traveling to locations that make it necessary.

Depending on the configuration it could be selective, I'm Ike routing only imgur through VPN.
