AppLanes: split tunneling for Mac, so you choose which apps use your VPN (launching Monday)

Hey everyone, I’m launching AppLanes on Product Hunt on Monday.

The problem: On macOS, most VPNs are all-or-nothing. NordVPN, Mullvad, Proton and others offer split tunneling on Windows, but not on Mac. Connect, and everything tunnels, including the apps that break when they do.

What AppLanes does: It gives every app one of three lanes: VPN, Direct, or Block. It works alongside the VPN you already use (WireGuard, OpenVPN, Tailscale, your provider’s app) and isn’t a VPN itself.

• Live activity monitor showing every connection and its verdict

• Leak protection if the VPN drops

• Menu bar control to flip an app between lanes

• No account, no telemetry, no servers. Everything runs locally on your Mac.

Pricing: 3-day free trial with everything unlocked, then $2.99/month or $19.99/year through the App Store.

What I’d love from you: If you use a VPN on a Mac, tell me which app you most wish could bypass it. I’ll reply to every comment, and I’m also happy to give feedback on your launch if you drop a link.
