Split tunneling VPN: Decide what stays private
Route specific apps through VPN, speed up other traffic, and use two IPs simultaneously.
Route specific apps through VPN, speed up other traffic, and use two IPs simultaneously.
A split tunneling VPN lets you send some of your traffic through the VPN tunnel while selected apps retain direct access to the internet. By dividing your connection, split tunneling helps protect your sensitive activities and allows faster access for other non-sensitive apps.
Keep sensitive data safe without compromising your internet experience. Split tunneling encrypts what needs protection and lets other activities bypass VPN.
Use both your VPN and real IP addresses at the same time to access local content on certain apps while improving privacy on others.
A VPN may restrict access to wireless home devices like printers. Use split tunneling to stay connected and secure your sensitive activities simultaneously.
Minimize VPN-related slowdowns by excluding data-intensive apps from encryption via split tunneling, enabling them to run faster.
Avoid unnecessary data consumption on limited or metered data plans by using split tunneling to route only selected traffic through the VPN.
Your online traffic is separated into two different streams with split tunneling: one part of it goes through a secure VPN tunnel while the other part connects directly to the internet. This way, you get the best of both worlds—security for what matters most and quicker speeds for everything else. You can choose which apps bypass VPN protection by tweaking the settings in your VPN app.
