I beg for app split-tunneling on Eddie

[nic.lvp 6]

I have been facing a predicament for months, which is that Steam thinks i'm a bot and doesn't let me play any multiplayer games in.. multiplayer, and I can't turn my VPN off to use all 5 ports on it to host numerous servers. The problem is, there isn't a way to IP or domain whitelist Steam, since I don't know any of the ip's it uses to connect, and they change alot. This is where app-based tunneling would shine though, and here is why

1. App based tunelling would most likely save you guys alot of bandwidth, now people can tell the VPN to send web browser connections through their actual internet, and then you won't have alot of traffic taken up by YouTube streams
2. This defeats the need to switch to other clients, which is clunky and complicated.
3. It lets you do everything in one app (Eddie), which is extremely convenient and simple for newcomers to use, probably bringing more subscribers to the VPN too since split-tunneling is a useful feature
4. It straight up lets you split tunnel some stuff in the first place, such as Steam i've already mentioned, which uses a variety of ip's and domains i don't know, and i'm not about to spend a few hours in wireshark getting all the ip's/domains and adding them.

So please, 4 good reasons on why app split-tunneling should be added to Eddie.

P.S. another thing I noticed was that the split-tunneling already in Eddie didn't seem to work until I reconnected the VPN, is this a limitation, a bug, or just something that isn't added?

Hello!

We do agree and we are planning to implement on our software per app traffic splitting on Windows too. Currently you can enjoy per app traffic splitting on Linux (AirVPN Suite) and Android (Eddie Android edition). If the machine you use for Steam is based on Linux you can already have per app traffic splitting with our software.

If you run Windows, in the meantime you can consider WireSock, which offers traffic splitting and reverse traffic splitting (on an application basis) and is fully compatible with our WireGuard servers. The Configuration Generator will generate the profiles you wish.

Kind regards

that is very cool and easy but how are leaks handled?

Highly seconding the demand for per-app traffic splitting in Eddie, would love love love to have that feature without the need for other applications.

That's a great feature to have so at least keeps you protected.  prevent app or the os from making queries out side of the vpn making easier for your isp to see what you are searching for

Kind regards Keeping track of VPN feature requests, software updates, and networking workarounds takes a lot of technical focus, so when it is time to close the tabs and decompress, I like to unwind for a bit at https://tropical-casino.com/
That is a very common feature request for VPN clients on Windows! Split tunneling (per-app traffic routing) is one of those essential quality-of-life features that many users heavily rely on, so it is great to hear that AirVPN has plans to bring it to the Windows version of Eddie. In the meantime, pointing users toward third-party tools like WireSock as a workable solution for WireGuard configurations shows helpful support engagement while everyone waits for the official feature rollout.

Having native split tunneling built directly into Eddie would be a huge game changer. It's one of those features that makes daily multitasking much easier without having to mess around with external routing rules or third-party workarounds every time.

sadly the devlopment with AirVPN takes ages compared to other providers. Split-tunneling is standard in any major VPN provider since years, only Air doesnt has it. They also tease a new modern UI since a long time, but nothing, zero info since forever, no screens, no update with how things go, same as split-tunneling. The software is really ancient sadly and devlopment  slow. Biggest dislike i have with AirVPN is, that i need to use a 3. party provider to use proper split-tunneling, while it should be a standart future since ahwile. Im often asking myself what the devs or dev at airvpn is doing, because things just take ages or it seems nothing changes at all compared to other providers.

I can answer that one; see here! Line and server expansion has seen a 29.5% increase in less than a year.

When did you introduce Wireguard only servers?
