Sometimes we need a little magic, don’t we? A magic wand, an enchanted switch, or Harry Potter’s invisible cloak would prove to be more than helpful for turning invisible when you have an awful hair day, for completing your tasks as fast as a ”hocus pocus,” or for avoiding unpleasant situations in a blink of an eye.

The magic is all around you, and you just have to find it. No, you won’t find magic wands hanging on trees or invisible cloaks at the mall, but you will find things and persons who will do magic for you. And, folks, I have the best example – a VPN Kill Switch.

Let’s take a moment to think about childhood, shall we? I can bet that most of the memories that come to your mind are play-related. And that’s great, because playing helped us develop our creativity, imagination, dexterity, and it clearly contributed to our emotional strength.

While growing up, we switched from playing hide and seek to playing Uno, Catan, or Beer pong while in college. With the Internet’s incontestable expansion, we switched from playing to gaming. And guess what! The online gaming industry is now bigger than movies and music industries combined! No wonder why games are now released on a conveyer belt.

Split tunneling or VPN split tunneling is a technology that gives control over which data is encrypted and sent through a VPN and which data stays unencrypted.

The great advantage of split tunneling is that you may use a VPN only for those applications that need to take advantage of the VPN benefits (browser, torrent client, streaming app) and let the other apps access the Internet directly.

For example, you may stream content from a service that is blocked on your location, whilst using the same device to access a food delivery app on your regular Internet connection that will be delivered to your house.

This article explains what VPN split tunneling is, how does it work, how to get it on your devices, and lists several VPN services that offer split tunneling.

The benefits a VPN puts on the table are clearly no news. Yet, what is Onion over VPN (or Tor over VPN), and why would you combine such advanced technology like VPN with another anonymity solution?

Curious much?! That’s great.

The Internet has its dark sides (and also a dark web) you need to be aware of, so knowing everything about what options you have to avoid online dangers is a must.
