🔧 Digital Tip

Most users connect a VPN and route all traffic through it, which can reduce streaming speed. Instead, use split tunneling to route only the streaming app through the VPN while keeping the rest of your internet traffic on a direct connection. This reduces latency, improves video quality, and still allows access to geo-restricted content. It also lowers the chance of triggering security checks on banking or work applications running at the same time.
