Activate Split Tunneling
To enable split tunneling, allowing certain device or app traffic to go through the encrypted VPN tunnel while letting others access the internet directly, follow the instructions below:
- Click Hamburger icon (≡) from the top right of FireSideVPN app.
- Click ⚙️ Preferences.
- Select the Advanced tab.
- 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 FireSideVPN app. Once connected, open your internet browser (Ex: Opera – in this case). The selected browser will run under the VPN.
