3 min read·Updated April 30, 2026

Split tunneling lets you choose which apps use the VPN and which use your regular connection.

Split tunneling lets you route some apps through the VPN while others connect directly to the internet. Example: protect your browser with the VPN while keeping your local printer and banking app on your regular connection.

Two modes

  • Include mode: Only listed apps go through the VPN; all others use regular internet
  • Exclude mode: All apps go through the VPN except the listed ones
  1. 1Go to Settings → Split Tunneling
  2. 2Toggle Split Tunneling to On
  3. 3Choose Include or Exclude mode
  4. 4Click "Add App" and select apps from the list
  5. 5Changes take effect immediately — no reconnection needed

Split Tunneling is available on Windows, Android, and macOS. Not currently supported on iOS due to Apple platform limitations.
