How does VPN split tunneling balance performance and security, and what risks might it pose?
VPN split tunneling allows a user to direct some of their device’s traffic through a VPN while letting other traffic access the internet directly. This method aims to balance performance by not overwhelming the VPN with unnecessary traffic and security by encrypting sensitive data only. However, split tunneling may pose risks by potentially exposing unencrypted data in the direct traffic path to security threats like malware or surveillance. It could also potentially undermine the intended security benefits of the VPN by creating potential entry points for attacks.
