Split Tunneling — Route Only the Traffic You Want Through VPN

What Is Split Tunneling?

When to Use Split Tunneling

  • Banking: Route banking apps through VPN while streaming uses your regular connection
  • Gaming: Keep your game on regular connection for lowest ping
  • Local devices: Access your printer or NAS on local network while VPN is active

Types

  • App-based: Choose which apps go through VPN
