Hello, I'm a newbie and don't know much about networks but I need to do something that I'm not sure if can be done:
I have a bot (automation software, Jarvee) to perform certain actions for me in social media accounts, specifically Instagram. I had an old cellphone laying around so I'm using it as a hotspot to connect to the internet the laptop where the bot is running (I've figured this way I would get a 4G/Mobile IP instead of paying for proxies, this helps avoiding your automated account to get blocked by Instagram).
I want to connect the laptop to my router through a LAN cable to control it from my desktop using remote desktop, how do I tell windows to keep the internet traffic from Jarvee going through the wireless card/network adapter (which is connected to my cellphone's hotspot) and for everything else to use the LAN card?
I've googled for a long time trying different search queries with no luck, if there's a step by step tutorial on how to achieve this I'd like to know about it, thank you!
Something here may help.

Hello and thank you for your answer, however I don't fully understand how to configure this. I'm a newbie with no much background on networks. I've read the article and it gives a me general idea of how to achieve what I want to do, I can't really understand how to apply it to resolve my specific problem. Also, it ain't clear to me how this method would keep all internet traffic going through LAN except for the traffic that Jarvee (the bot) would be sending through Wi-Fi. Thanks.
Yea, that's probably not going to work out. Sounds like you may need to use a third party tool to accomplish this.
