What Is Split Tunneling
Split tunneling lets you choose which apps or websites use the VPN connection and which use your regular internet. This allows you to protect sensitive traffic while maintaining full speed for everything else.
When to Use Split Tunneling
Banking apps that block VPN connections. Local network devices like printers or smart home devices. Speed-sensitive apps that do not need encryption. Games where you want minimal latency but also want VPN protection for your browser.
How to Configure in CasperVPN
Split tunnelling is not in the CasperVPN app yet. When it arrives you will choose apps to exclude from the VPN under Settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is split tunneling less secure?
Traffic outside the tunnel is not protected by the VPN. Only leave apps outside the tunnel when they do not handle sensitive data or need a direct connection.
