Exclude applications from Mozilla VPN protection

Apps exclusison is a feature of Mozilla VPN that lets you choose which apps to connect directly to the internet and which ones to protect with the VPN. This way, you can protect your sensitive data with VPN encryption while accessing other services that may not be compatible or not have optimal performance when connected via VPN. For instance, you can use VPN for your browser but bypass it for your online gaming, which may have a performance decrease when connecting through a VPN. In this article, you will learn how to use app exclusion and its benefits for online privacy and security. {warning}'''Warning:''' This feature is currently available on Windows, Android and Linux devices. On macOS and iOS devices, you will need to manually turn the VPN off when using an application that is not compatible or does not have optimal performance when connected via VPN.{/warning} __TOC__ =How to exclude apps from VPN protection= To exclude applications from VPN protection, you need to change the app permissions settings: #Open Mozilla VPN and go to '''Settings'''. #;[[Image:settings without the speedtest|width=350]] #Select '''Apps exclusion'''. #;[[Image:Apps exclusion VPN|width=350]] #Under ''Apps exclusion'', check the boxes next to the apps whose data you don't want to go through the VPN tunnel. #;[[Image:suggested apps|width=350]] #;{note}'''Note:''' If you want to start over and deselect all your chosen apps, select the '''Clear all''' option.{/note} #; #Nice work!
