VPN split tunneling is an advanced feature of virtual private
network software, designed to help you manage and control your VPN
traffic more efficiently. This guide explains how split tunneling works.
Split tunneling in FastVPN allows you to determine which websites use a secured connection through
FastVPN, and which ones can use a regular connection through your
internet service provider. This flexibility allows you to enhance
security for sensitive activities like remote work or banking, while
still enjoying faster speeds and local services for other tasks like streaming readily available content.
How to enable split tunneling in FastVPN?
To enable split tunneling in the FastVPN app on your iOS device, follow the steps outlined below.
1. Before proceeding, please make sure that you are disconnected from FastVPN. Tap the Preferences icon in the bottom navigation bar of the app.
2. Select the Settings section in the Preferences menu:
3. Under Connection protection, tap Split Tunneling:
4. Turn on the Split Tunneling switch, then tap Add hostname:
5. Enter the hostname that you prefer to be routed via your Internet Service Provider and not use the FastVPN connection (for example, example.com), and tap Add.
6. The hostname appears in the Hostnames list and will not use the VPN connection. To add more hostnames, tap + add. To remove a hostname, tap the trash icon next to it.
7. Go back to the VPN tab and tap Connect:
Now when you connect to FastVPN, everything except the selected hostnames will be tunneled through FastVPN.
NOTE: Split Tunneling can't be used together with Auto connect (or Kill Switch, which turns on Auto connect). If Auto connect is on, Split Tunneling shows Unavailable in Settings. Turn off Auto connect to use Split Tunneling.
