Split tunneling is a VPN feature that lets you route some of your traffic through the encrypted VPN tunnel while other traffic goes directly to the internet. This gives you control over which apps or sites use the VPN.
An SSH tunnel uses the secure SSH protocol to encrypt and forward traffic between your device and a remote server. It is a simple way to secure connections or bypass network restrictions.
SSL/TLS is the encryption protocol that secures data in transit on the web — the 'S' in HTTPS — protecting it from eavesdropping and tampering.
