JP exit for one PS5

Routing a single PS5’s OTT-app traffic through a Japan VLESS exit — and only that traffic, never PSN or matchmaking — via a per-device DHCP gateway override and a domain-allowlisted Xray instance. Live and confirmed end-to-end against the real PS5 since 2026-07-14, after tracing the earlier TPROXY handoff bug to its actual root cause. TVer, U-NEXT, DMM TV, Hulu Japan, FOD, d Anime Store, DAZN, and Watcha all verified working; Prime Video is lower confidence (Amazon actively blocklists datacenter IPs). One known occasional issue: the Osaka relay’s extra hop vs. a native Japan connection intermittently causes a client-side timeout on some titles — confirmed not a hard per-title block, just a relay-latency retry case.
