HideAway VPN is the ultimate VPN for split tunneling
Customize HideAway VPN to route every app, site, or IP to different locations
Next level 'Multi Split
Tunnel'
This feature, unique to HideAway is like having multiple VPN's on your PC and you won't find
it on any other VPN. For example, your could have all your computer redirect to Los Angeles,
USA. Except for Facebook and Gmail which are not directed anywhere, and the Chrome web
browser goes via Australia. You can customize this as you wish.
You can see the limits of the other VPNs from this article at lifehacker on split tunneling
One App, Multiple Destinations - Save Time and Hassle
No more switching VPNs or servers - route every app and site where you want it, all at once.
In this example, all your computer's internet traffic goes to USA (Florida), except Microsoft
Edge web browser goes to India, Google Chrome goes to Switzerland, ipinfo.io goes to UK (London).
Google adwords are blocked, while Mybank.com and Gmail.com are excluded from the VPN.
You can find more information in the HideAway VPN help about setting up custom rules and split tunneling.
Go Beyond “VPN or No VPN”
Most split-tunneling VPNs answer one basic question: should this traffic use the VPN, or should it bypass the VPN?
That is useful, but it is only one way to route traffic.
HideAway uses a rules-based model. You can redirect, exclude or block traffic based on the website/domain, application process, port or IP address, and you can run several rules at the same time.
That means your setup can be much more specific than “Chrome uses the VPN, Outlook does not”.
What is a VPN split tunnel?
Split tunneling divides your internet traffic so different traffic can take different paths.
A typical split-tunnel setup might look like this:
| Traffic | Route |
|---|---|
| Browser | VPN |
| Direct connection | |
| Everything else | VPN |
HideAway can take the same idea further:
| Traffic | Route |
|---|---|
| Whole computer | USA |
chrome.exe |
Germany |
bbc.co.uk |
United Kingdom |
gmail.com |
Direct / Exclude |
| Specific IP | Denmark |
| Unwanted domain | Block |
All of those rules can exist together.
Why would you want more than an ordinary split tunnel?
Use different locations for different services
A standard VPN connection gives your computer one VPN exit location. Rules let a specific application or site use another location without forcing you to reconnect the entire VPN.
Keep sensitive or troublesome sites on your normal connection
Some banks, email services and local sites dislike VPN IP addresses. You can exclude those while leaving other traffic redirected.
Keep local services working
Local printers and devices may need direct local-network access. HideAway already ignores some local traffic so it does not interfere with ordinary local devices, and custom exclusions provide additional control where needed.
Block traffic as part of the same rule system
A HideAway custom rule can also block matching traffic instead of redirecting or excluding it.
HideAway rule priority
Rules are not random. HideAway evaluates them by precedence.
The order of precedence is the order in which they are checked with rules at the top of the list taking precedence over rules at the bottom. Normally you would have 'My Computer' at the bottom so everything is redirected to a different location, while rules above it are for specific cases.
That is what makes configurations such as this possible:
- Gmail → direct
whatismyipaddress.com→ Denmark- Chrome → Germany
- Whole computer → USA
Even when the website is opened inside Chrome, the more specific website rule can take priority.
Split tunnel versus multi-location routing
This distinction is important.
Basic split tunnel:
- App A → VPN
- App B → exclude from VPN
HideAway rule routing:
- App A → VPN location 1
- App B → VPN location 2
- Website C → VPN location 3
- Website D → exclude from VPN
- Domain E → blocked
If your only need is “exclude one app from the VPN”, ordinary split tunneling is sufficient. HideAway becomes more interesting when you want different rules and destinations operating simultaneously. This allows you to make rules as you need them without having to turn HideAway VPN off to get around some blocks or other issues.
Frequently asked questions
Can I split tunnel individual websites?
Yes. HideAway supports website/domain rules as well as application rules.
Can one app use one country while another app uses a different country?
Yes. You can create separate redirect rules for different applications and assign them different locations.
Can I bypass the VPN for Gmail or my bank?
Yes. An Exclude rule can keep a matching domain or application on the normal connection.
Can I route traffic by IP address or port?
HideAway custom rules support IP/CIDR addresses and port matching as part of its advanced rule system.
Does split tunneling improve speed?
It can reduce unnecessary VPN routing by sending only the traffic that needs the VPN through it. Actual performance depends on your connection, server location and the traffic involved.
Surf privately and anonymously.
When we use the internet, a lot of what we do is unencrypted so it’s easy to spy on what we do
online at work, home or in public. HideAway masks your IP address with our anonymous IP
addresses and encrypts your internet traffic, so your ISP, Government and hackers will have no
idea what you’re doing or what websites you're visiting. The added benefit is that websites
and internet services can no longer track you.
Furthermore,
No logging: We didn’t build any logging capability in to HideAway, so we
can't even turn logging on. So we can’t be compelled to hand over any information as we have
nothing since the logging capability doesn't exist!
No data limits: When you connect via our high speed servers, you can use as
much data as you like - there are no limits, even with torrents.
Torrent friendly: Download torrents as much as you like. There's no limit and
it's really fast!
No DNS leaks: Automatically secured against IPv4 and IPv6 DNS leaks.
Kill Switch: If you lose your internet connection, HideAway will cut the
connection so that your real IP address and information is not leaked.
Blazing fast speeds
HideAway absolutely blitzes other well known VPNs in speed comparisons.
