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.
