I did a more complicated setup, Ive just set all IPv4 blocks from ARIN (US-region) to the VPN and everything else is routed default or to another VPN-tunnel here in europe. So a leak test is actually not easy because Im just interested in avoiding geoblocking from US und UK services.

if I want to use US streaming services, I need an UnitedStates-IP, therefore I must tunnel to the US. And even if I use a dedicated IP I must tunnel to the endpoint. So nothing changes in my configuration because I just want specific services to run over the VPN, all other stuff should be routed as normal.
