Got two network connection, an ethernet and one android usb tethering, both connected to internet. I need ethernet for a specific software to connect to campus intranet but I can't surf web freely cause it is a monitored connection. Is there any way to limit Chrome(and if possible other) data usage to just mobile tethering without disconnecting ethernet wire or disabling adapter ?
P.S. I'm usong Windows 10

no actually that's exactly opposite of what I want,I want intranet App to connect to etheret ,which it does cause ethernet is default gateway,but I want other browsers and stuff to connect to USB NIC.

So just reverse the logic. I am not giving you step-by-step instructions, am merely saying take this path. The details, I let you figure it out.

Manipulate Windows routing table.

The routing table is a series of address entries that tell Apps what "door" to go through in order to get to a particular destination.

So let say your Intranet app is talking to server x.x.x.x, so you place an entry in the routing table that says, "in order to get to x.x.x.x, go through door y.y.y.y" where y.y.y.y is the IP of your USB NIC.

So now anything who wish to talk to x.x.x.x, goes through the USB NIC, and everybody else who is talking to something OTHER than x.x.x.x will use the DEFAULT GATEWAY IP, which should be your regular ethernet.

The revers logic will route all my data from USB NIC via ethernet,what I need is ethernet completely out of picture.

Go look at the ROUTE command. just remote the default gate from the one that is not your primary and then put in routes for all the ip you want to use the secondary connection. It tends to be quite tedious if you have lots of sites you must look the IP addresses up for.

There is a program I forget the name of that will force certain applications to use one connection or the other all the time. It had issues on windows 8 but I have been told that was corrected....I suspect it got broken again with win 10.

Can you by any chance remember it's name, cause it sounds exactly what I need. Maybe even app type or genre so I can Google it myself.
