What’s the one Mac app you wish could bypass your VPN?

Most VPNs on macOS are all-or-nothing. Connect, and everything tunnels, even the stuff that breaks (banking, Spotify, local network devices, game servers, work tools). NordVPN, Mullvad, Proton and others have split tunneling on Windows but not on Mac.

I’m launching AppLanes on Monday, which lets you pick VPN / Direct / Block per app, on top of whatever VPN you already use. Before launch I’d love to hear:

1. Which app is the biggest pain when your VPN is on?

2. Which app do you want to force through the VPN no matter what?

3. Is there anything you’d want to block entirely?

I’ll reply to every answer, and I’m happy to share early feedback in the thread.
