Avoid VPN Restriction with Speedify's Bypass Feature
In today's digital landscape, VPN users increasingly demand more control over their online traffic. Split tunneling VPN technology offers the perfect solution, allowing you to route specific applications or websites through your secure VPN tunnel while keeping others on your regular internet connection. This advanced feature provides the security benefits of a VPN without sacrificing performance for all your online activities.
Find out how to set up split tunnel VPN and get the best internet performance and online privacy with Speedify's Bypass feature.
Why Speedify's VPN Tunnel is Unbreakable vs Other VPNs
Most VPNs stop working the moment one of your internet connections has a problem. If your Wi-Fi glitches, or your device briefly switches between 4G / 5G and Starlink, you can suddenly lose your VPN connection.
Speedify is built to prevent that. Instead of relying on just one connection, Speedify can use all your available internet connections at the same time: Wi-Fi, Ethernet, 4G / 5G cellular, even Starlink or other satellite. If one connection slows down or drops, Speedify instantly moves your traffic to another internet source so your VPN stays connected and your online activity isn’t interrupted.
In this video, you’ll see how Speedify keeps your internet connection secure, smooth, and reliable by intelligently spreading your encrypted data across the available connections. The result: an unbreakable VPN tunnel.
Combining multiple internet sources like WiFi, 4G, 5G, & Starlink together makes Speedify's secure VPN tunnels unbreakable
Combine internet connections for better bandwidth and signal strength
No matter how secure your VPN is, if you experience a drop in your Internet connection, either your VPN tunnel will break leaving you unprotected, or you’ll be stuck offline. Speedify is the only VPN that seamlessly combines all of your connections, including WiFi, 4G, 5G, Ethernet, and Starlink, into one unbreakable connection to keep you online and secure.
Speedify will automatically detect any available Internet connections on your device, encrypting and intelligently distributing your online traffic between them for optimal performance. If you need help we have quick start guides available for most common set ups.
Join multiple mobile personal hotspots at the same time
Speedify's Pair & Share is a feature that enables you to connect to multiple personal hotspots at the same time and wirelessly share LTE, 4G, and 5G cellular connections back and forth between multiple Speedify users on the same local network to create a faster, more reliable connection for everyone.
With Speedify, all of your available internet sources - even shared personal hotspots - are combined inside the secure VPN tunnel with your encrypted traffic intelligently distributed between them, while split tunneling allows blocked sites to bypass. So, if any connection slows down or drops out, the VPN tunnel stays active and the other connections will automatically take over to keep you securely, seamlessly connected.
What is Split Tunneling VPN?
Split tunneling is a sophisticated VPN feature that divides your internet traffic into two separate paths. Instead of routing all your data through the VPN tunnel, split tunneling allows you to choose which applications, websites, or IP addresses use the VPN connection while directing other traffic through your standard internet connection.
Think of it as creating two lanes on a highway: one lane goes through a secure, encrypted tunnel (your VPN), while the other lane takes the direct route to your destination. This selective routing gives you unprecedented control over your digital footprint and network performance.
When Using a Split Tunneling VPN Becomes Essential
Split tunneling VPN proves invaluable in several scenarios that modern internet users frequently encounter:
Accessing Local Services: Many streaming platforms, banking websites, and local services block VPN traffic. Split tunneling allows you to access these services directly while keeping other activities protected through your VPN connection.
Optimizing Network Performance: Bandwidth-intensive applications like video conferencing, gaming, or large file downloads can benefit from direct internet access, while sensitive activities like browsing or email remain encrypted through the VPN tunnel.
Workplace Compliance: Remote workers often need to access company resources through their local connection while maintaining privacy for personal browsing activities through a VPN.
Cost Management: Users with limited data plans can conserve VPN bandwidth by routing only essential traffic through the encrypted tunnel, reducing overall data consumption.
How to Set Up Split Tunnel VPN
Configuring split tunneling varies depending on your VPN provider and device, but the general process follows these steps:
Choose Your VPN Provider: Select a VPN service that offers robust split tunneling capabilities. Not all providers include this feature, so research is essential.
Install and Configure: Download your VPN client and locate the split tunneling settings, often found in advanced or connection settings. In Speedify, for example, it's called Bypass.
Select Your Routing Method: Most VPN clients offer app-based splitting (choosing specific applications) or website-based splitting (selecting particular domains or IP addresses).
Configure Your Rules: Add applications or websites to your bypass list (for direct internet access) or your VPN list (for encrypted routing).
Test Your Configuration: Verify that your settings work correctly by checking IP addresses for different applications and ensuring proper traffic routing.
Why Speedify Stands Out for Split Tunneling
When it comes to VPN services with superior split tunneling capabilities, Speedify emerges as a top choice for both individual and professional users. Here's why Speedify excels in this competitive market:
Intelligent Bypass Feature: Speedify's bypass functionality goes beyond basic split tunneling. When Speedify’s smart engine detects a request to connect to one of the trusted streaming service providers, or other services that are known to block VPNs, it will appear on Speedify's Dashboard. From there, you can confirm the service you want to go around Speedify. All other traffic will benefit from the secure and bonded Speedify VPN tunnel.
Channel Bonding Technology: Unlike traditional VPNs, Speedify can combine multiple internet connections (Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G / 5G cellular, DSL and others) for the traffic that goes through the VPN tunnel, while also routing selected apps and services directly, providing both security and reliability for your internet.
Reliable Performance: Speedify's infrastructure ensures consistent performance across both VPN and direct connections, maintaining optimal speeds for all your online activities.
