This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a split tunnel VPN using only Windows. No need to install anything! It'll even show you how to create custom routes for specific IPs!
Most people are familiar with full tunnel VPNs... you connect to the server and then all your internet traffic gets routed through it. This, of course, increases latency, decreases bandwidth, and can be a privacy concern. Split tunnel, on the other hand, sends specific traffic through the VPN and the rest goes out normally. This allows you to access all of your work resources without slowing down the rest of your internet.
Some of our clients have whitelisted Clarity's IP address. If your request goes through the VPN, it will reach the client with Clarity's IP address. If you have a split tunnel set up, that request will go through your regular connection with your personal IP address and will be automatically denied.
You can solve this by re-checking "Use default gateway on remote network" (see Step 5), or you can add a route to your routing table that sends traffic for your client's endpoint through the VPN.

This route will remain active until you close the VPN.
