Gain dual-channel flexibility. Route sensitive data through 256-bit encryption while keeping high-speed games and local banking apps on direct unthrottled internet.
Routes all your standard internet traffic through your unencrypted regular ISP connection, EXCEPT for specific applications you choose to encrypt through the VPN (e.g. qBittorrent, Telegram).
Routes all computer and browser traffic through the encrypted VPN tunnel, EXCEPT for specific applications you exclude (e.g. your local banking app, Steam/Valorant for low ping, or network printer).
Banks trigger automatic fraud freezes if you log in from foreign VPN IPs. Bypassing your banking app avoids endless 2FA verifications.
Exclude multiplayer games (Valorant, CS2) so packet telemetry takes the absolute shortest physical route to game servers without crypto-overhead.
Print to local Wi-Fi printers, cast video to Chromecast, or access local NAS servers without disconnecting your VPN.
