By default, a good VPN is supposed to route all your traffic through the VPN, even when split tunneling is available. Usually, it\u2019s disabled by default, so you need to turn it on.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essentially, <strong>split tunneling divides your traffic into the following categories<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Encrypted<\/strong>: The VPN encrypts your traffic and re-routes it through its secure servers for increased privacy and security. This <strong>may slow your speeds a bit, but it provides safer access to apps and websites<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regular<\/strong>: The VPN doesn\u2019t encrypt your traffic, so you must rely on the security measures put in place on apps, websites, and through your ISP. You will get <strong>faster access to local sites and services, but it\u2019s less secure <\/strong>than using a VPN.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should only run trusted apps, sites, and services outside your VPN.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/buy-vpn-online?conversionpoint=pia_split_tunneling\"><button class=\"bg-btn-1\">Customize Your Online Security<\/button><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-benefit\"><strong>The Benefits of Split Tunneling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PIA-advanced-split-tunneling.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PIA-advanced-split-tunneling.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22194\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PIA-advanced-split-tunneling.png 691w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PIA-advanced-split-tunneling-300x148.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Get more options with PIA\u2019s split-tunneling feature.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With split tunneling, <strong>you can continue to use apps that don\u2019t work with VPNs and those that do at the same time<\/strong>. This is because you can run apps that aren\u2019t VPN-friendly outside the VPN, and filter compatible ones through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Split tunneling helps you <strong>retain fast speeds for streaming, and it gives you<\/strong> <strong>secure access to international content<\/strong>. Basically, you can protect yourself while downloading YouTube videos from anywhere in the world <em>and<\/em> watch Netflix at the same time without sacrificing your speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of speeds, PIA lets you <strong>exclude certain apps from the VPN tunnel<\/strong> while forcing everything else to use the encrypted connection. This is really useful for online gaming, where latency and fast internet are crucial, and for banking apps, which don\u2019t always play nice with VPNs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good split tunneling feature makes life a lot easier for anyone who relies on VPNs for increased online protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-pia\"><strong>Standard<\/strong> <strong><em>and <\/em>Inverse Split Tunneling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We <strong>leave our split tunneling feature off by default<\/strong> to give you control over whether you want to customize your VPN protection. All you need to do is activate the feature in your VPN <em>Settings<\/em>. Don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s easy to turn on. Just toggle the switch in the <em>Split Tunneling<\/em> section.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What you may not know is that, unlike many VPNs, <strong>PIA offers both standard and inverse split tunneling:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Standard split tunneling sends all online traffic through the VPN, except apps\/sites and IPs you specify <\/strong>to run outside the secure channel. You can activate this by choosing <em>Use VPN<\/em> on the <em>All Other Apps<\/em> dropdown menu in the <em>Split Tunneling<\/em> settings for PIA.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Inverse split tunneling runs all traffic outside the VPN unless you specify certain apps to use the VPN<\/strong>. This feature is also located under the <em>Split Tunneling<\/em> setting for PIA, only you need to select <em>Bypass VPN<\/em> on the <em>All Other Apps <\/em>menu. Test it out for yourself risk-free, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/vpn-features\/split-tunneling\">our 30-day money-back guarantee<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most <strong>common forms of split tunneling offered by VPNs are app-based and IP-based split tunneling<\/strong>. PIA offers both of these options \u2014 and more, but we\u2019ll get into that a bit later. First, let\u2019s tackle the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"app-based\" style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>\u2705 App-Based Split Tunneling<\/h3><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PIA makes it easy to select the app you want to run in\/outside the VPN tunnel. When you click <em>Add Application<\/em> in our app\u2019s split tunneling settings, you\u2019ll see a list of all available applications. Scroll down the list and select your app. Once it\u2019s added to your list, you can <strong>choose whether or not the app runs in or outside the VPN.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/cUbL1R8ZFQZ5XF6HP7O3hc_okFx69LXpMYLZMdlReuLrVQrLRVB7T9kDoilj5Hssu_7FRyk53LXD2zJmw04dMXhh8wqDPspleZF5B9g3PDjnRel0FLnXGnMvjT3uclDgNlm10iUzTNyoTTmrE6LA1dzAqIRm8l2weWL95Ebu9c0xFDOJ1KTvQAP9xg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Adding applications to split tunneling is easy with PIA.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing that sets PIA apart from the rest is that <strong>our split tunneling supports Windows Store Apps<\/strong>. Other VPNs don\u2019t support split tunneling with these apps as they use an Application Package File (.appx) format created by Windows for their app-based OSs (Windows 8, 10, and 11), instead of the standard Executable File (.exe) format.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few VPNs have workarounds for Windows Store apps, but they\u2019re time-consuming. <strong>PIA\u2019s split tunneling feature works with Windows Store Apps as is<\/strong> \u2014 you don\u2019t need to do anything special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"ip-based\" style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>\u2705 IP-Based Split Tunneling<\/h3><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PIA allows you to <strong>choose specific IP addresses to include in split tunneling<\/strong>. The option to <em>Add IP Addresses <\/em>is to the right hand side of Add Applications in the split tunneling settings. You can <strong>manually add an IP address to run outside the VPN<\/strong>, which is a useful feature if you need to access work networks suspicious of VPN use.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/tlBg-kmnxP_PgARRVLk96IGOSKNiHTIQ88FI4JFOfHSryed4Gm358JuNCiTstWsIodlOZsfCatD5XIoIeIv7vRgjDHg_uQrclzbX98KTAUyiOdW3DbaPpwbVyzg3GjnMdaQB5YPWlTFtc7341KEW21zmKlocft6n_w-RYn4Kwj72a7aDyOrZUZ_fcA\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You can bypass entire IP addresses and subnets with PIA\u2019s split-tunneling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best part is that <strong>you get way more options than a simple IP address.

Fortunately, PIA gives you both. <strong>We provide feature parity for Linux <\/strong>and even <strong>offer a unique split tunneling feature<\/strong> for the operating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With PIA, you can decide whether all docker or virtual machine packets bypass the VPN or run through it. <strong>Each container is isolated, so you can individually manage dockers<\/strong>. Considering most VPNs don\u2019t provide split tunneling or a proper UI for Linux, this is an advanced feature you won\u2019t find anywhere else for some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"dns\" style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>\u2705 Split Tunnel DNS<\/h3><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The default for the <em>Name Servers<\/em> setting for split tunneling on PIA is <em>Follow App Rules. <\/em>It ensures DNS server settings change on a per-app basis to redirect DNS requests to the correct servers.
