This should include Gnome, Unity, MATE and Cinnamon (notably missing are KDE and XFCE). {/note} =Common questions= ==Why would I want to exclude certain applications?== Excluding some applications may speed up your browsing. ==My excluded app cannot connect to the internet== Some excluded apps need to be restarted once Mozilla VPN is turned on. ==I can’t add Microsoft Store apps to the list of excluded apps== Microsoft store apps (non-win32 aka UWP apps) are not supported. ==My app is not on the list== You can scroll to the bottom of the list and add the missing application manually. ==I can’t see the app permissions menu in the settings on Linux== On Linux, the split tunneling feature is only available if the following two conditions are met: *The net_cls control group has been mounted somewhere. On Ubuntu, this should be something like /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls *The user is running a GTK-based desktop environment.
