Split tunneling is it really worth it and does it work 100% ?

[QUOTE="rndmblk, post: 940663, member: 89746"] The idea of split tunnelling is a good one - you can choose which applications go through the VPN and which ones go 'straight out'. Like any feature, however, a quick Google suggests that it doesn't always work as expected. I saw comments from NordVPN and CyberGhost users stating that they either couldn't get it to work or it worked but then suddenly stopped. Most of the comments were from users wanting to run torrenting through the VPN but most of their other traffic direct. I'm not having a go at these two services, they're just the ones I saw the first set of results for. I haven't used either of them and haven't actually used split tunnelling myself - the closest I ever got was using a SOCKS proxy back in the day for IRC. [/QUOTE]
