Split tunnelling for Android & Apple TV
An essential feature given how much video and game (Geforce Now for example) streaming is done now a days on a device such as a Nvidia Shield. This has been supported by the Mullvad VPN client on Android TV for years.
Split tunneling is now available on Android TV. Easily choose which apps are protected by Proton VPN.

Όταν διάβασα αυτή την ιδέα για το streaming σε Android TV, θυμήθηκα πόσο συχνά κι εγώ απογοητεύομαι όταν η εικόνα κολλάει ακριβώς τη στιγμή που θέλω απλώς να χαλαρώσω. Κάποια στιγμή άρχισα να ψάχνω τρόπους να ξεφεύγω από αυτή την ένταση και κάπως έτσι δοκίμασα μερικά διαδικτυακά παιχνίδια, μέχρι που έπεσα πάνω στο https://capo-spin.gr και άρχισα να παίζω περισσότερο για να καθαρίσω το μυαλό μου. Στη Γεωργία οι παίκτες βρίσκουν και έξτρα μπόνους, οπότε ένιωσα πως άξιζε να δοκιμάσω μία κλασική ρουλέτα, ειδικά μετά από μια περίοδο συνεχών μικρών χαμένων γύρων. Μια φορά ρίσκαρα λίγο περισσότερο και τελικά έπιασα έναν καλό γύρο που με έκανε να νιώσω πραγματικά ότι ξεφεύγω από το άγχος της ημέρας. Από τότε το χρησιμοποιώ ως έναν απλό τρόπο να αποφορτίζομαι όταν όλα τα υπόλοιπα με κουράζουν.

I would like to see a split tunneling function in the Apple TV app.
The Android TV app already has this and I thought it was great as some services block VPNs. It would be a huge QOL update here to not always have to connect/disconnect the VPN. -

Split tunnel for appletv. Allow apps to use or not use the VPN.

Please add vital missing features such as a kill-switch & Auto connect feature.

Can we get a kill switch and auto connect feature too?
Only on Saturday I was connected and then it seemed to disconnect without knowledge.

I second this feature request. It's cumbersome to have to always turn off the VPN every time I need to use certain apps on my Nvidia Shield and then having to go back and turn VPN back on again after I'm finished. That's a lot of unnecessary clicks.

Add split tunneling to the app for amazon devices and have the app remember the settings. This is feature that many other VPN services have. I realize that it is included on other operating systems. If it is included, I haven't been able to find it.
Have an official Flatpak with the GUI. I could be wrong, but having the VPN installed on the OS makes the browser extensions redundant. Wouldn't that free up developers to focus on other things like wireguard?

Nord VPN currently has split-tunneling for the Nvidea Shield app. Proton does not. This is important because several apps on my shield will not work with VPN and I like not having to turn it off every time.

It's been months since it was implemented on every other platform except Android TV.
