Norton VPN Mac users gain split tunneling feature

Norton VPN has introduced split tunneling functionality for its macOS application, enhancing user control over network traffic. This feature, now available on Mac, allows users to designate specific applications or websites to use the VPN connection, while routing other traffic through their standard internet connection. This provides flexibility, especially for accessing geo-restricted content or using services that may block VPN connections.

This expansion of split tunneling to macOS brings Mac users the same capabilities already offered on Windows and Android platforms. The company plans further updates, including post-quantum encryption for its WireGuard protocol and manual IP shuffling for its iOS app. The rollout addresses a feature that has seen inconsistent implementation among VPN providers on macOS, with some experiencing delays or limitations due to operating system changes and Apple's evolving APIs.
