Split tunneling: choosing which traffic uses the VPN
Different applications need different routes. How to choose traffic for the tunnel and check the result with GhostMesh.
Avaldatud: 8. november 2026
A working day rarely stays inside one application. Some services need a VPN route, while others should keep a direct connection. Sending everything along the same path can ignore what the user actually needs to do.
GhostMesh for Windows and Android offers configurable routing: users choose which traffic enters the tunnel. Other applications continue using a direct connection in the described mode. Split tunneling makes that distinction part of the product configuration.
Start with a list of services you use regularly. Identify which ones need the tunnel and which can use a direct route. Change the settings in steps, then check each service in a normal working scenario. This gives a clearer picture than testing the connection with a single webpage.
Routing rules should remain understandable. If an application behaves differently after a change, return to the specific rule and check the selected mode. The GhostMesh page in the SRS catalog explains the product and links to the service.
