Let’s discuss what Split Tunneling is before discussing its various usages.
As you must know by now that VPN creates a virtual tunnel through which all traffic goes by. This makes sure that no unauthorized access takes place. Now there come various situations when the user require certain data to pass through this virtual tunnel while the rest of the traffic travels through the local ISP just like any other traffic. This is where Split Tunneling comes into play.

The user tells the VPN application orYou do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. which data to pass through the tunnel and which data to pass otherwise. In some cases, traffic to and from a corporate network is sent through the secure VPN tunnel. But traffic to and from any other site or email account is “split” off into another channel that connects to an ISP and allows for any non corporate network data exchange. In this way individual is able to access the internet without having to swap its internet connections.

The same phenomenon can be applied by any non corporate individual who wants to use a certain browser or an application to send and receive traffic through VPN tunnel while the rest of the traffic is required to travel through the local ISP. In this scenario, only those applications which are selected by the user use VPN connection while the rest dont. This makes it easier for the user to use its applications without swapping between internet and VPN connection again and again.
Advantages of Using Split Tunneling

Split tunneling feature can be used for security, freedom and privacy reasons. You can
  • Secure traffic between remote users and the workplace
  • Route only your required data from VPN while use your local ISP for other purposes e.g downloading, uploading.
