Need VPN for macOS & iPhone with Split Tunneling – Will PIA Work?

VPN
1

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a VPN solution with split tunneling that works on both macOS and iPhone. Here’s what I need:

• On my Mac, I want the VPN to only apply to ChatGPT, while everything else connects directly through my ISP.

• On my iPhone, I want the VPN to only apply to Twitter, with all other apps using my regular connection.

I’ve read that Private Internet Access (PIA) supports split tunneling on macOS, and I’m wondering if it will work for this use case.

For those who’ve used PIA with split tunneling:

• Does it work well on macOS and iPhone?

• Is it reliable for setting specific apps to use the VPN while excluding others?

• Any tips or issues I should be aware of?

Appreciate your insights and experiences! Thanks! :blush:

Your ChatGPT works with VPN? Mine often doesn’t

I do not believe that split tunneling is on the iOS app at this time. Official releases I’m talking about.

Yes, I can use the web version and the app with VPN in my Mac

What about what I want to achieve with the VPN on the Mac? This is the more important case actually

I don’t have a Mac so maybe someone will answer for you.

i use mac M1, the app has issue (can’t login) with the mac and require you doing extra work to have it working so i’d say find a different vpn

What do you mean you can’t login on Mac? What behaviour do you see?

I’ve talked to support about this before but it shown “too many login recently, please retry after xxx seconds” even on my first login attempt right after i bought a subscription, i’ve waited for 1 hour and then retry again but the timer just reset.

Oh that should be fixed already - i assume you’re in/near singapore?

11

yes, unfortunately i’ve refunded already but how did that happen in the first place, just curious

There was a denial of service attack on our Singapore server that prevented people from authenticating with it. All should be fixed now though, sorry about that!

Hey! Can you help me with my question? :sweat_smile: Especially the Mac case (it looks like the iPhone case is just not going to work).
