For me, it's the opposite.
Tunneling works with the app. But it doesn't work with website addresses, only with IP addresses.

What's your client version and platform? If it's the same as above and windows 11 then which windows 11 patch you are on right now? I think it might be broken windows patch in my case.

Try to uninstall AmneziaDNS from the server and disable Use AmneziaDNS setting.
It might just be a coincidence or an indirect connection, but it started working for me again.

Per-app tunnel is now working after I turned off the 'KillSwitch' setting. Version 4.8.14.5.

Never thought it was enabled by default! Thank you!

App split tunneling still does not work in the latest version. Apps still connects through VPN regardless of whether executables are put into app split tunneling or not. The option does nothing.
