Apparently ProtonVPN has implemented this feature in Windows:
Proton removes restrictions on simultaneous feature usage on Windows
- Users can now use Split Tunneling, Kill Switch, and NetShield altogether
- Split tunneling is currently in beta for Mac and Linux usersIf you’ve been using Proton VPN on Windows, you’ve likely encountered a frustrating "pick two" scenario. For a long time, the app forced users to make a compromise: if you wanted to use split tunneling to route specific apps outside the VPN, you often had to disable other critical security features.
According to an X post by the company, that friction is finally gone. Proton has just rolled out an update for its Windows application that allows users to enable Split Tunneling, the Kill Switch, and NetShield simultaneously.
"Proton VPN's latest update on Windows lets you benefit from all three at once, so you can feel relieved while you browse the internet securely," the company tweeted.
If this is available in Windows; why not available in Mac OS?

I would never use a VPN without a Kill Switch; that's why I won't use ProtonVPN Split Tunneling.

Proton Scribe should definitely be part of Proton Unlimited. Other e-mail services have AI Writing Assistance; why is Proton being so excessively frugal?

I agree that Proton Unlimited should include a secure/private messenger like Signal and Threema.

Most premium VPN's have Dedicated IP plans for all users.

VPN's that have the Kill-Switch and Split-Tunneling working simultaneously. ProtonVPN implemented it on Windows, but not implemented it on Mac OS. This is critical for security on the Internet to stay connected when sites prevent Internet connection when using a VPN. It is very unsafe to have to disconnect ProtonVPN when connecting to sites that block VPN's, especial when multiple browser tabs active. This does not seem to be planned within ProtonVPN.
**ExpressVPN** and **ProtonVPN** (as of late 2025/early 2026) are the primary providers that support using split tunneling and a kill switch simultaneously.
* **ExpressVPN**: Its "Network Lock" kill switch is specifically designed to work with split tunneling, recognizing excluded apps and allowing them to pass unprotected while blocking all other traffic if the VPN connection drops.
* **ProtonVPN**: Historically, enabling the kill switch disabled split tunneling; however,
**ProtonVPN Windows app version 4.3.7, November 25, 2925 and later** now allows users to enable both features concurrently, though this compatibility may not yet be available on all platforms like Linux or macOS.
* **Private Internet Access (PIA)**: Offers an app-based kill switch that functions alongside its various split tunneling options (app-based, inverse, IP/domain-based), providing safety for excluded applications.
* **NordVPN**: Supports both split tunneling and a kill switch (network and app-based), but documentation does not explicitly confirm that the kill switch dynamically respects split tunneling exclusions in the same way ExpressVPN does; users must verify specific behavior during connection drops
