What split tunneling is for
Normally a VPN sends all your traffic through its servers. With split tunneling you pick exceptions: the browser through the VPN and the banking app outside it, or only the torrent client through the VPN and everything else direct.
That keeps local services working, such as printers, banking apps that block VPNs and streaming apps that only work in your country, while the traffic you want protected still goes through the tunnel.
It can also make things faster, because apps that don't need the VPN don't take the detour. Split tunneling is most common in the Windows and Android apps, and less common on macOS and iOS.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest VPN with split tunneling?
FastestVPN is the cheapest of the 22 VPNs on this page, at $0.83 a month when you pay for 2 years. PrivadoVPN follows at $1.11.
Is split tunneling safe?
Yes, as long as you know which apps are outside the VPN. Traffic from those apps uses your real IP address, so don't exclude anything you want to keep private.
Does split tunneling work on iPhone?
Rarely. iOS limits what VPN apps can do, so most VPNs only offer split tunneling on Windows, Android and sometimes macOS.
