xxxx

At this point you'll need to select how you'd like to build to your Split Tunnel list, via App or IP/Hostname.

Adding Applications

Be advised that only traditional software that runs from an executable (.exe) file. Windows apps downloaded from the Microsoft Store such as Mail function differently and will not work with Split Tunneling.

There are two ways to select applications for the desktop client's Split Tunneling feature:

Search function/Recently Opened (this is the easier of the two methods)

Press on the Apps option to open the list of applications added to the Split Tunneling list

Click the search icon to open a short list of the recently opened applications. Note: this will only search the most recent application list, not all applications on the computer
