What is full tunnel vs split tunnel

Question

Accepted Answer

Full tunnel directs all network traffic through the VPN, while split tunnel only directs specific traffic through the VPN.

Full tunnel routes all network traffic through the VPN server, providing more security but potentially slower performance.
Split tunnel only routes specific traffic through the VPN, allowing non-sensitive traffic to bypass the VPN for faster performance.
Full tunnel is commonly used in corporate environments to ensure all traffic is secure, while split tunnel is used for balancing security and performance.
Example: Full tunnel would route all internet browsing through the VPN, while split tunnel would only route company intranet traffic through the VPN.
