At some moment the app stopped working properly. Split tunneling is not working at all, like if I add "ya.ru" in the list and trying to access it when vpn is on with split tunneling, I go to "ya.ru/internet" and see it still sees my real IP, not the VPN-server's one. It only works without split tunneling, but then it tries to route everything in the VPN, even my local network connections so I can't access them. Which wasn't the case earlier.

So I deleted any software related to VPN and/or virtual network connections, I deleted AmneziaVPN and then reinstalled it, but it still works the same troubled way. Despite it saying it's deleting all data, when I reinstall it, it still manages to find my VPN server configured with all the settings in it. So it must be stored somewhere else other that Program Files, Appdata/local or Appdata/roaming, neither in the Documents or user folder.

I'd also add that even deleting the server from insdide the app and adding it again does not solve the issue.

App config stored in the registry on Windows.
If you want to cleanup all settings you need to click in the app setting to "Clean app settings..." red button

It's all here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AmneziaVPN.ORG\AmneziaVPN

I had crashes on app startup. Then I wiped the whole hive above and the config has been reset. It's weird that there's no installer option to reset settings.
