Summary

VPN split tunneling is a partial solution to the performance and usability issues created by traditional VPN technologies. It routes essential, protected traffic through an encrypted tunnel to a company's VPN gateway, while sending less sensitive traffic through the user's local network and public internet. This approach alleviates some of the problems inherent to VPN's hub-and-spoke topology, such as congestion on gateways and networks, but also creates new risks, including potential security breaches if not implemented correctly. Twingate offers a modern approach to secure access that eliminates these issues by routing all encrypted connections between user devices and protected resources along the most performant direct path, with traffic for on-premise resources reaching the private network and traffic for cloud-hosted resources traveling over the public internet. This approach simplifies access control, removes non-essential traffic from the company's private network, and improves the user experience through low-latency connections.
