VPN and proxy: how to configure split tunneling and application exceptions?

Proper configuration of split tunneling and creating exceptions for specific applications can significantly improve the convenience of using the internet by routing only the necessary traffic through a secure channel. Practice shows that for the successful solution of any technical tasks in the field of virtual networks, it is always useful to prepare a preliminary checklist including the stages of installation, configuration, backup creation, and subsequent updates. Going through such a checklist even once allows you to completely minimize the occurrence of so-called mystical problems and failures.

When you configure application exceptions, local resources such as printers on a home network or banking client programs continue to work directly through your internet service provider. This saves you from having to constantly turn off the secure connection to perform everyday local tasks and significantly saves channel bandwidth.
