What Is Split Tunneling?
Split tunneling is a VPN feature that lets you route some of your internet traffic through the VPN while allowing other traffic to access the internet directly. This lets you protect sensitive activities while maintaining full speed for others.
Why Does Split Tunneling Matter?
Split tunneling improves performance by letting you choose which apps use the VPN. For example, you can route banking apps through the VPN while streaming local content directly.
