Hello,

Can a VPN be used on a per instance basis or once installed it has to be
used for all (browser) use?

A VPN is a network connection that (usually) appears just like
another network interface.

It can be configured to send all traffic elsewhere, or traffic
to a particular set of networks.

If you run one with proxy support, then you can have a
particular browser (with proxy support) use the VPN, and nothing
else.

Technology can be configured in a large number of ways.

Some web sites I want to continue visiting as I do now. Amazon.com for example.  There is at least one other site I sometimes want to visit but am blocked because of my location.  It is my understanding that using a VPN to access this site allows my location and IP address to be changed so I wouldn't be blocked.

Best regards,
Fred

I have found that changing my VPN to a new location allows some web sites that weren't allowed at the previous location.
