All traffic through a VPN or just some apps: setting up split tunnelling
Should everything go through the VPN or only YouTube, Telegram and blocked sites? What split tunnelling is, which apps to route through the VPN and which directly, and how to set it up.
Quick fix. Surok's split tunnelling is preconfigured: local sites and banks go direct, the rest through the VPN. Try it free.
Routing everything through a VPN makes banks, government services and marketplaces reject foreign addresses, slows local sites and clogs the tunnel. Through the VPN: YouTube, Instagram, Telegram, Discord, AI tools, blocked sites, games on foreign servers. Direct: banks, payments, government and tax sites, marketplaces, local streaming and taxis.
Setup: the best apps split by sites automatically; Android apps often allow per-app exclusions; iPhone usually supports only site-based rules; on a computer use app rules and TUN mode for games (see VPN for PC). Check: our IP page shows a foreign address while your bank still works.
