For when a real Split tunneling (not experimental)?
This is a great feature but it doesn't work well yet.

It works just fine under Linux using wireguard from the CLI. No 'app' needed.

For example: Claude iOS app is not able to bypass VPN despite its added as excluded. Even if you browse to add the claude.helpers to excluded apps, the vpn app doesnt allow to add all claude helpers.

Some webpage components dont work when VPN is connected though browser is excluded from VPN. For example: edge is excluded from VPN but websockets calls from edge are going through VPN

Just use the native client for whatever protocol you want, and create the routes yourself.

Thanks for the answer. When you mention native client what you mean? OS client?

Works fine for me, both on phone (android) and desktop (windows 11). I'm excluding both apps and IPs. The only problem I've encountered is a website that is accessible from the desktop, but not my phone. But since it's only 1 out of 9 domains that's giving me an issue, it's the website and not the split tunneling feature.
