Windows 10: How do I set my VPN as metered connection

Hi,

I have a limited bandwidth on my internet so I have my connection set to metered. The problem is when I connect to a VPN that metered connection gets overridden(?) and all the updates start downloading. There's no option on my VPN as well about anything remotely containing metered connections so... How do I use my VPN while keeping the metered connection active so the updates won't automatically start downloading?

Thanks!

:)

 

Setting a metered connection for Ethernet?


Please permit me to respectfully disagree, battlezone. Not only is it possible to do this, TenForums offers a tutorial that explains exactly how, step-by-step: Set Ethernet Connection as Metered or Unmetered in Windows 10. Do please check it out, won't you?
Thanks,

Set Metered Connection not an option

Hi,

You may try the steps below and check.

To set a Wi-Fi network connection as metered:

• Select Start > Settings > Network & Internet
  > Wi-Fi > Manage known networks.
• Select the Wi-Fi network > Properties > turn on Set as metered connection
  

Hope this helps.
