Use split tunneling

Split tunneling lets some traffic skip the VPN, for example a banking app that blocks VPNs. The Mac and iPhone apps send all traffic through the VPN. They can allow devices on your local network: Bypass VPN for LAN on Mac and Allow local network access on iPhone.

Android: choose apps

1. Open Settings and tap Split Tunnel.
2. Tap + to make a profile and give it a name.
3. Choose a mode:
   • Exclude these (default): the apps you pick skip the VPN.
   • Route only these: only the apps you pick use the VPN.
4. Tick the apps and tap Save.
5. Tap the profile to make it active. It applies the next time you connect.

To turn split tunneling off, tap All apps (default). Press and hold a profile to edit or delete it.

Windows: choose IP addresses

1. Open Settings with the gear icon. Under Privacy, find Split tunnel.
2. Choose Tunnel only listed or Bypass listed. Off (route all) sends everything through the VPN.
3. Enter IP ranges in the Split-tunnel CIDRs box, for example 192.168.1.0/24. For one address, add /32, for example 203.0.113.5/32. Website names do not work here.

The change applies the next time you connect.

Browser extension: choose websites

1. Open the extension settings with the gear icon and click Split Tunneling.
2. Enter one website or IP address per line, for example example.com.

These websites always load directly, without the proxy. Subdomains are included. The list saves on its own.
