Use Split Tunneling to Improve VPN Performance
Split tunneling allows you to route some of your internet traffic through the VPN while letting other traffic access the internet directly. This can significantly improve performance, especially for activities like streaming or gaming, I had an assignment to research on how can we improve VPNs, so I got this idea from there. When I was working on this idea I hired a research consultancy that helped me in researching the important aspects about this topic.

Having desktop apps clash with local VPN rules can be really frustrating during daily tasks. I noticed that running conflicting tools inside a dedicated remote environment completely eliminates those network compatibility issues. Moving my setup to a trusted Windows VPS provider Fiberax https://fiberax.com/en/vps/windows-vps/ smooth RDP connection gave me full control over my app routing. The stable performance and clean access keep all my daily workflows running without any hassle.

This is already implemented on an app/process basis on Windows and Android (can't speak for Mac, iOS or Linux) is this a request for a specific platform or something else?
There's also a privacy risk when split tunneling especially when done without explicit knowledge of the user since any data used outside the VPN could expose the public IP of the user. Could it be you mean something like load balancing with multiple VPN connections?

Need split tunneling on MacOS desperately! Some daily-use apps don't work with VPN.
