i have 2 internet connections one is satellite and the other is LTE mobile wifi hotspot, i want to use both at the same time on one pc and if i need to set up some sort of proxy server that's ok too but back to the story. yeah so 2 connections both with data caps 65gb on satellite and 20gb on my hotspot i like using the hotspot for most everything much lower ping, low as 40ms but the satellite is more like 800ms so when i want to play a game online i will be using the faster of the 2 but when doing data intensive tasks like streaming videos, and downloads i want that traffic to goto my satellite. so i imagine i would need to set privileges in a manner that would use the satellite as the primary connection and only use the other for an approved list of servers. what is this called, and can someone point me in the direction to make it happen.

There is no simple way to do this. The hardest problem is coming up with a list of servers. As I suspect you know things like games are made up of multiple servers. If you do not get the complete list of devices and some traffic would go on one connection and some on the other it will cause issues because they are coming from 2 different ip addresses.

So if we assume you spend the time to get the list the magic command to do what you want is ROUTE.

What you will want to do is use the ROUTE DELETE to remove the 0.0.0.0 route from the secondary connection. Then use ROUTE ADD to tell the pc what ip addresses to send to the secondary connection.

It tends to be very tedious if you have a bunch of devices and because of things like...

It tends to be very tedious if you have a bunch of devices and because of things like Akamai the ip will be different on different ISP and even change from time to time. This site uses akamai as a example.
