Activate Split Tunneling
Activate the split tunneling feature to direct specific device or app traffic through the encrypted VPN tunnel, while allowing other devices or apps to access the internet directly. Are you wondering how to enable split tunneling? Follow the instructions below:
- Click Hamburger icon (≡) from the top right of BitStream VPN app.
- Click ⚙️ Preferences.
- Select the Advanced tab.
- Toggle Enable Split Tunnelling to turn it on.
- The list of default applications will appear upon clicking the Add Applications icon. You need to mark the application on the Add/ Remove Applications to add to the list of split-tunneling. Alternatively, you can use the browse option to select any installed application.
- Click browse and add your desired program to enable it with split tunneling. An application might have multiple processes running. To ensure all the data from that application is routed via VPN, add all the processes in split tunneling.
- Connect to the BitStream VPN app. Once connected, open your internet browser (Ex: Opera – in this case). The selected browser will run under the VPN.
