Can I control which traffic goes through a split tunnel?

Yes, you can control which traffic goes through a split tunnel by specifying which apps or websites are routed through the encrypted VPN tunnel and which ones bypass it for direct internet access.

What’s the difference between a full and split-tunnel VPN?

A full-tunnel VPN encrypts 100% of your outgoing and incoming internet traffic, while a split-tunnel VPN lets you select which data streams to exclude or include.

How do I turn off split tunneling?

Most VPN services let you turn off split tunneling by disabling it in the settings menu of the VPN app.

How do I know split tunneling is working?

You can test whether split tunneling is working by accessing a site or service that you’ve chosen to exclude from the VPN and checking your IP address through an IP lookup tool. If the IP matches your local network, the traffic is bypassing the VPN, confirming split tunneling is active.
