What is Split Tunneling?
Split Tunneling is a feature in ApexGuard that allows you to select what traffic goes through the VPN. By default, connecting to the VPN routes all your data through the virtual tunnel and to the VPN server. However, Split Tunneling makes it possible to access some service from your real IP, while using the VPN for apps and sites that impose geo-restrictions or require elevated privacy.

Access local devices
You can continue to access devices and files on your local network while the VPN is connected.
Use Whitelisted IPs
Remote workers can access corporate networks with the same IP without worrying about getting blocked.
Eliminate extra hop
Services hosted in or near your country can perform better without using a remote VPN server in another country.
VoIP and P2P
Voice communication and file transfer apps may benefit from lower latency, especially if you have weak Wi-Fi reception.

Application-Based
Lets you pick individual apps such as web browsers and streaming apps for the VPN, while other apps such as Zoom use the existing network.
IP-Based
Allows you to add a rule for traffic to specific IP addresses to bypass the VPN for accessing specific local websites or internal corporate networks.
Device-Based
When Apex is installed on your router, you can send traffic from your phone, laptop, and PC to use the VPN, while setting IoT devices to access the internet directly.
