Enable Split Tunnel in your Norton product to manage your VPN traffic

The Split Tunnel feature in the Norton app lets you exclude some of your apps from the VPN channel while other apps access the Internet directly.

The Split Tunnel feature is only available on Norton 360 app and Norton Secure VPN app for Windows and Android.
