SPLIT TUNNELING

Route only what you want through the VPN

Choose which apps use the encrypted tunnel and which trusted apps connect directly.

Included on every plan

Perfect for different scenarios

Route work apps through KeenVPN for security, but use direct connection for streaming and downloads to avoid company logs.

Keep your game client encrypted but bypass the VPN for game servers to reduce latency and avoid connection issues.

Protect sensitive browsing, but send video calls and large file transfers direct for full bandwidth.

Encrypt web browsing but exclude streaming apps that have regional restrictions and benefit from a local connection.

THE SETUP

Three steps to fine-grained control.

Find the "Split Tunneling" or "App Exclusions" section in KeenVPN settings.

Select which applications you want to bypass the VPN. The list is searchable and categorized.

Excluded apps connect directly. Everything else routes through KeenVPN. No restart needed.

The features every VPN has, plus the two rows only KeenVPN wins.

Scenario	Without Split Tunneling	With Split Tunneling
You want banking secure + streaming fast	All traffic through VPN (slower streaming)	Bank app → VPN \| Netflix → Direct (best of both)
You're on a work VPN + personal browsing	Choose one: either work or personal secure	Both simultaneously (work apps → work VPN \| personal → KeenVPN)
You need bandwidth for a large download	VPN encryption adds overhead to every packet	Exclude download app, use full ISP bandwidth
You want privacy but avoid regional blocks	Use VPN, get blocked from local services	Private browsing + direct access to local services
