Android routing guide

Android split tunneling for selected apps and websites

Android split tunneling is the idea of routing selected traffic instead of applying one route to the entire device. Secureferry applies this idea to Android apps, websites, domains, and subdomains by letting you choose what follows each dedicated route.

What Android split tunneling means

Instead of treating every app and website the same way, split tunneling lets routing decisions stay selective. In Secureferry, the practical question is simple: which apps, websites, or domains should follow this dedicated route?

How Secureferry approaches selective routing

Secureferry uses route maps, checkpoints, manifests, and packaging classes to keep routing decisions visible. You create a route, choose its checkpoints, assign the apps or sites that should follow it, and activate the route when needed.

  • Create a dedicated route.
  • Choose checkpoints for the route.
  • Assign selected apps, websites, domains, or subdomains.
  • Review the manifest before activating.
  • Activate, pause, or disable routing from the app.

When selective routing helps

  • Testing how an app behaves with a specific route.
  • Assigning a work app without applying the same route to every app.
  • Sending a selected website or domain through a dedicated route.
  • Keeping route rules explicit and visible.

Privacy and permission notes

Secureferry uses Android VPN for system-level routing. Routing starts only after you grant permission and activate a route. Secureferry does not collect browsing history and does not read, inspect, store, or sell the contents of routed network traffic.
