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.

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.
