Split tunneling warning - use with caution!

[Streamline]

Just lost some cash on a campaign cuz I ignored this split tunneling thing. thought it was a neat feature but turns out it can be a nightmare if you don't set it right. basically, it routes some traffic through the VPN and others outside. sounds good but if you mess up, your real IP leaks or your privacy gets compromised. I tried to use it for streaming only, but ended up exposing my personal stuff cuz I didn't configure it properly. now I see why so many warn about it being tricky, especially for noobs. fam, if you don't really know what you're doing, don't even touch split tunneling. it's a security minefield. anyone else had bad luck with it or got tips?

Different angle: I once tried split tunneling for some legit work stuff, thought I was smart, but I ended up getting locked out of my own email for hours because I misconfigured the rules. That thing is a double-edged sword, man. If you don't know exactly what you're doing, just stay away or you'll end up with a bigger mess than you started with

Honestly, split tunneling can be useful if you set it up right but most peeps blow it. My one tip? Test your config on non-sensitive stuff first, then go live. Better safe than leaking your whole life online.

Different angle: yeah, split tunneling can be a double-edged sword but honestly I think it's more like a loaded gun. If you know how to handle it, it's not so bad. Just don't blame the tool when you're the one playing with fire
