    How to request split tunneling via the Control Panel


      Article summary

      NordLayer allows to customize your internet traffic routing. Split tunneling feature ensures that only specified IP addresses and subnets are encrypted and sent through the NordLayer tunnel, while all other internet traffic can be routed directly without encryption.

      Note

      Split Tunnel only impacts the flow of IP traffic. DNS requests are still resolved by the gateway and are subject to DNS filtering and ThreatBlock policies.

      This setup is ideal for users who need to secure certain data without disrupting their regular internet activities. Here’s how to enable this feature
