Prevent remote devices from simultaneously establishing non-remote connections with organizational systems and communicating via some other connection to resources in external networks (i.e., split tunneling).

A virtual private network (VPN) is a virtual network built on top of existing networks that can provide a secure communications mechanism between networks. A common example is a VPN tunnel that connects an employee’s laptop to the company’s network. The split tunneling feature in a VPN allows a mobile user to access a public network (e.g., the internet) and a virtual private network (VPN) (e.g.,, your organization’s network) at the same time, as a result, the user’s traffic is not going through one encrypted tunnel controlled by your organization. The split tunneling feature on your VPN should be disabled, this can often be accomplished by accessing the settings in your VPN appliance.

If your company uses a virtual private network (VPN) you need to disable the “split tunneling” feature in your VPN.
