Describe the bug
Apps added to the 'App-based split tunneling' exclusion list still go through the tunnel. The 'connect' button incorrectly shows disconnected state.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Add an application to the App split tunneling list
  2. Enable App split tunneling
  3. Press Connect (protocol doesn't matter)

The connect UI element 'spins' once and the ring stays white, with 'connect' text displayed. In this state the tunnel is actually connected and all apps listed in the app-based split tunneling exclusion list are routed through the tunnel.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 11
  • Version 26300.9550

Amnezia client 5.0.3.0 Sep 18 2026

Additional context*
This issue started with the first client update following your big 'ddos' outage in summer, so client version 4.8.19-ish
