Split tunneling

Split tunneling is when you have a computer connected to the internet and you want some data (like internet traffic) to go one way and other data to go a different way. For example, you can make it so that your online banking information and business emails are sent through a secure tunnel, while other data, like your social media browsing, is sent through a different route. Split tunneling helps keep your important information safe from hackers.
