Sorry for the absence, it has been a bit hectic! News from the Proton Team:

Hey everyone,

It’s finally here! Split Tunneling is officially rolling out in beta for Linux, starting with Fedora and Ubuntu (latest versions only).

This is an early release, and we’ll keep on making improvements together with your help. We wanted to get it out there for anyone who wants to test-drive it and help shape how it evolves.

✅ What’s in this release:

  • Exclude mode only — you can pick apps to bypass the VPN
  • Fedora + Ubuntu support
  • Works only with the official Proton VPN Linux app

🔜 Coming soon:

  • Include mode — route only selected apps through the VPN
  • IP-based rules
  • Debian 12 support

⚠️ A few caveats:

  • You’ll need the latest version of our Linux app
  • Feature is available only for those on a paid plan
  • The feature won’t be available for (unofficial) Flatpak versions of our app, so please use our official installer from our website.
  • Bugs and limited functionality are expected (beta life)

Let us know how it works for you, and what you’d like to see next! We are going to keep making improvements and changes to this feature over time, so give us as much feedback as you can.

Stay safe,

Proton Team

My workplace learned about split tunneling when COVID hit and suddenly everyone was working from home and doing data intensive Zoom calls via the VPN, just about everything locked up.

What I'm saying is it can also by used to preserve VPN bandwidth for the applications you want/need to have using it.

I thought about split tunneling Signal since all Signal traffic is encrypted.
