Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/issues/996

Split Tunneling does not work on the Windows client. For websites and for applications both. The client "successfully" connects for the first time, but nothing works, like no internet at all. Reconnection does not occur at all, the "Connect" button does not seem to respond. Restarting the service helps.

If you disable Split Tunneling, everything works fine.
Also for macOS / iOS / Android apps Split Tunneling works great, guess only Windows problem.

UPD: a few details of the problem

"Site-based split tunneling" is probably actually "IP-based split tunneling". When adding a domain, the IP address is incorrect! Moreover, sometimes one IP is resolved to different domains (see screenshot)! If you manually add the correct domain IP, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Restarting the service sometimes helps. Restarting the computer sometimes helps.

If you select "App-based split tunneling", the selected applications do not have Internet at all. Not selected apps - works through VPN as intended.

100% reproducible problem:

Go to "Split tunneling (Allows you to connect to some sites or applications through a VPN connection and bypass others)".
Add chrome.exe, chrome_proxy.exe, doublecmd.exe, explorer.exe, Far.exe, GoogleChromePortable.exe, qbittorrent.exe, SASPlanet.Debug.exe, SASPlanet.exe, and Telegram.exe.
Enable "App-based split tunneling" ("App split tunneling (Apps from the list should not have access via VPN)".
Connect to the VPN Generator administrative shadowsocks profile.
Launch Mozilla Firefox 135.0 (64-bit) and open https://vpn.works in it.

Expected behavior

The site will open and display statistics of added users.

Observed behavior

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.
We can’t connect to the server at vpn.works.
If you entered the right address, you can:
• Try again later
• Check your network connection
• Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

There is nothing in here.

Confirm issue.
@denmorgenshtern @dayfuaim @nexterot please try ping and check you get valid IP address. On mine machine I noticed, when I paste hostname it resolves with another IP address. If I use IP address from ping - amnezia works

Try adding the entire subnet of ip addresses as advised in the documentation https://docs.amnezia.org/documentation/instructions/vpn-split-tunneling/

I faced the same issue and it turned out I just used the wrong mode:

I switched: "Addresses from the list should not be accessed via VPN" and it worked fine just after.

My use case: I've listed the IP addresses that should be accessed directly without VPN, like my router dashboard, for example.
