    Split tunneling generally means traffic destined to your local network isn’t tunneled while internet traffic is, which would result in the same outcome since Reddit doesn’t exist on your local network. Unless you have something more specific in mind.

      To me split tunneling just sounds like “traffic matching certain rules is routed differently”, and the rules depend on the configuration 🤷

      Like mobile protonvpn lets you include/exclude certain apps/ips; desktop wireguard has allowed ips, etc.

        Well yeah it just means that you’re not routing all your internet traffic through a VPN.

        What I was wondering is how that’s actually help in this scenario. But the answer is it doesn’t, he just gave up and stopped using the VPN for Reddit traffic lol.

          Yap, basically. Look, I never said it was a good solution 🤣

        Right but that wouldn’t actually solve the problem of getting blocked when using a VPN. You’d have to access Reddit without.
