[QUOTE="Ember1205, post: 1717355, member: 374272"] Split tunneling has nothing to do with traffic prioritization. The "split" refers to specific traffic being identified as needing to be encrypted and transmitted via the VPN while the rest is allowed to traverse the network in a normal manner. Generally, this sort of configuration is used when a particular application (like an email client - think Outlook) needs to access a particular server in a corporate network. Everything else you do on the computer, like browse the Internet, has no need to go back to the corporate offices and can go directly to the internet. Split Tunneling is often shunned by corporation because it allows the remote device to live, virtually, on two different networks at the same time. And, as a result, it can be compromised by malware and used as a "remote control" of sorts by someone on the Internet to access and manipulate data on a corporate network. As with most things, there are advantages and disadvantages to each way you can use something. [/QUOTE]
