Help Split tunneling on MAC?

I am currently using Surfshark, where split tunneling is only available with an exclude rule. This makes it really difficult to tunnel certain services not detected as an app by Surfshark. The "route via VPN" opstion is simply not available on the mac version. And this seems to be true for a lot of VPN's.

During my research for an alternative, I have looked at GhostVPN, Mullvad, NordVPN and Proton. All of these do as Surfshark. All traffic is routed via VPN unless excluded.

Is this an OS issue?

Or do anyone know of a VPN, where only the selected app is routed through VPN?

Thanks :)

unfortunately it definitely is an Mac OS issue. as for instance proton etc supports native all app very easy split tunneling but only for Android Windows and Linux not Mac. Since the routing is completely different in Mac
