I had the same problem. Previously, using Policy Rules with Accept DNS Configuration “Strict” was one of two ways (the other being “Disable”) to have VPN policy rules and Diversion to work. Now it seems that policy rules will not work.The problem wasn't Skynet but VPN Director. If I put all internet traffic through the VPN tunnel, everything works but if I use the rules in VPN Director, Unbound and Diversion don't work. Now I indicate the issue in the dedicated posts
Yes, same here. I have DNS set to “Exclusive” and all traffic through tunnel to “Yes.” I believe this is now the only way to have Diversion and the VPN to to work? It seems as though “Strict” and policy rules (VPN Director) does not work in conjunction with Diversion.I am no longer using VPN Director and everything works
thats weird , skynet, diversion, x3mRouting , VPN Director and 3 vpn clients all working here, have you checked for conflicts?I had the same problem.

I don’t use x3mRouting, but I’ve previously set DNS as “Strict” and Policy Rules (VPN Director) enabled, but Diversion was not working. I currently have DNS Strict and run everything through the VPN tunnel. If I want Policy Rules enabled and Diversion to work, do I need to have the DNS Relaxed or Disabled?thats weird , skynet, diversion, x3mRouting , VPN Director and 3 vpn clients all working here, have you checked for conflicts?

You would need DNS to be disabled for Diversion to work. I used x3mRouting option 3 to bypass the VPN and my streaming apps go thru WAN. I'm not sure if x3m can do what you're trying to do.I don’t use x3mRouting, but I’ve previously set DNS as “Strict” and Policy Rules (VPN Director) enabled, but Diversion was not working. I currently have DNS Strict and run everything through the VPN tunnel. If I want Policy Rules enabled and Diversion to work, do I need to have the DNS Relaxed or Disabled?
x3mRouting makes it possible to have Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc. go through specific VPN clients?

What’s the best way to learn how to do this properly? I’d like to have BBC iPlayer go through a UK VPN server and Hulu, Netflix, Prime, etc., go through a US server.Yes and Yes
my current /x3mRouting setup;
traffic via "1 0" goes thru wan
traffic via "ALL 1" goes thru vpn1 an so on.View attachment 36545
