I have the newest Merlin in my AC5300 router and I want the OpenVPN only to work for Utorrent . Can anyone tell me how this can be done ? I've been trying to do it for 5 years and never got it , finally today I will ask lol .
 
You can't associate the VPN w/ an application directly. All you can do is associate the VPN w/ either a source IP (via policy based routing rules) or destination IP (via static routes). IOW, only *indirectly*, by determining what source and/or destination IP(s) are in use by the given application and creating the relevant rules and/or static routes accordingly.

If you implement your own policy based routing rather than using the GUI, you do gain a bit more flexibility. You could use other criteria besides source IP (source and/or destination ports, protocol (e.g. udp vs. tcp), network interface, etc.). And that can sometimes help a bit. But the fact remains; you still can't make a direct association between the VPN and a specific app.
 
Could always grab yourself a raspberry pi and a USB 1TB external portable hard drive, and install a torrent application, and you'll be on your way, then you can grab the rpi IP and traffic it through the VPN

Or find a provider that offers Socks5 support, and configure that within your client.
