Split Tunneling on MacOS?

The MacOS app of ProtonVPN as of July 18, 2024 doesn’t currently have split tunneling. Will Proton be releasing split tunneling on MacOS after recently implementing Split Tunneling on their Android TV app ?

Proton stated in a post 4 months ago “Split Tunneling for the Android TV app: We’re aiming for late spring/early summer 2024, to be followed by a split tunneling solution for our macOS app.”

Should we finally be anticipating the implementation of Split tunneling on MacOS within the upcoming days/weeks (months if necessary) as summer finalizes ?

I feel like s second class citizen with Proton on Mac and iOS…

We’ll share any news across our social media channels & blog, so stay tuned. Nothing new to say on the topic right now.

Edit: Split tunneling for Mac is on our Winter roadmap for 2025: https://protonvpn.com/blog/product-roadmap-winter-2024-2025

The absence of this feature means I can’t use Proton VPN seamlessly.

For example, links in email notifications I get from Reddit won’t open unless I switch the VPN off.

So, if you reply to this comment, I’ll get an email with a link, which I can’t view without switching off my VPN.

yeah, me too, it’s not that awesome. I can’t connect to developer services like databases and some threads are opened for 3 years now; still no split tunneling or whatever that would do the trick like outgoing whitelist addresses. I don’t have all the security knowledge but since it is doable on windows and android from some time, i’m wondering why on mac we have little parameters in advanced, but we all pay the same pricing

Just chiming in saying that 6 months later this is still the first google hit for proton vpn mac split tunnelling, and the lack thereof when almost every other vpn has it will be getting me to cancel and request a refund

Is this on the works? It is clearly something that people want, I have been waiting for it for a long time.

it’s funny.

when i google “proton split tunneling mac” the first two articles i get are this one and a german reddit post basically asking the same with more or less the exact same answer… but from 3 years ago.

it really sucks folks

And now with this issue. We can’t use iPhone Mirroring

I buy Proton VPN in order to use it with other apps and MacOS is the only system I have for laptop. And now it has been months this function still have no progress, even Android TV has it. How slow or inefficient that the dev team is to notice MacOS has way larger amount of user in the whole market than TV?

Commenting to make this high priority

Please hurry up and do split tunneling for Mac. What a pain!

Split tunneling is coming to MacOS soon, as recently announced in our Winter/Spring 2025 roadmap: https://protonvpn.com/blog/product-roadmap-winter-2024-2025

I have to switch PVPN off to log into my bank, one big reason I have a VPN. Am using free wireguard to use my ban then back to PVPN. Not seamless.

I guess macOS and iOS are more closed systems than Windows and Android, so fewer options for Proton to thinker with system settings.

We made an edit to the original comment, seeing as not all users might notice the comment we left below in this comment thread 2 months ago. Thanks for flagging.

Finally lets gooooooo!
