SPLIT TUNNELING

Your Choice
Total Control

Split Tunneling in VPN Lightning lets you decide which apps and websites use the encrypted VPN connection and which stay on your local network. It gives you more control, faster performance, and a smoother online experience.

What Split Tunneling Does

Split Tunneling is a powerful feature inside VPN Lightning that gives you control over your internet traffic. Instead of sending everything through the VPN, you choose what gets encrypted and what stays on your normal connection. This means you can protect private tasks like email, banking, or work apps while letting other things, like streaming or gaming, stay local and fast.

For example, you can keep your banking app inside the secure VPN tunnel while watching local content or accessing smart devices on your home network without delay. This keeps your speed high and your privacy locked in.

Split Tunneling is perfect when you want strong protection and top performance at the same time. You stay in control, reduce slowdowns, and still get the safety you expect from VPN Lightning.

Smart VPN App Control

Split Tunneling is not just a technical feature. It’s a smart way to manage how your VPN works in real life. Most devices run many different apps at the same time. Some need full privacy. Others need local access. With VPN Lightning’s Split Tunneling, you get to choose how your connection works for each app.

This helps you avoid streaming issues, makes local banking easier, and improves how smart devices connect. You don’t have to switch the VPN on and off. Just set it once and enjoy the best of both worlds: strong security and smooth speed. Whether you’re working from home, watching local news, or managing smart tech, split tunneling helps everything run better.

  • Keep Local Access Working Split Tunneling makes sure local apps still work while your VPN protects private data. You can use printers, smart TVs, and banking apps on your normal network without turning off the VPN.
  • Stop Blocking Local Content Some websites and apps only work in your area. With Split Tunneling, you can watch local sports, news, or streaming content on your normal connection while keeping other activity protected.
  • No More Switching Split Tunneling removes the need to turn the VPN off for certain apps. Once you set your preferences, everything just works. You stay protected without constant changes or slowdowns.

Faster Speeds and Stronger Performance

When only some apps run through the VPN, your device has less to process. This leads to faster speeds, better app performance, and less lag across the board. Instead of forcing every app and service to use the encrypted tunnel, Split Tunneling lets you free up bandwidth for the apps that need it most.

Gamers, remote workers, streamers, and power users all benefit from smoother experiences. By only routing what matters through the VPN, you get top-level security without the slowdown. This means lower ping, faster downloads, and better overall flow on all your devices. Split Tunneling is built to give you balance: strong protection where it counts and fast access everywhere else.
