I use VPN on my Mac-mini to make some traffic more secure, but then I realized I can not access my computer as I want. typically, services like airplay or remote access through http port 80 stops responding. the traffic I am securibg is specific to an application, and it can be restricted to a specific port. so is there a way to set up the VPN so it only sends this traffic through itself, rather than everything?

If you have the option of connecting to the remote VPN end via SSH you can create SSH tunnels on the specific application port (directing them to localhost:destination_port). This method will encrypt the app's traffic while leaving your LAN connection untouched.
