    Split tunneling

    Russian websites do not work with VPN

    In 2026 some Russian services restrict access when VPN is active. Banks, Gosuslugi, Ozon, Wildberries and Yandex services often need split tunneling or a temporary VPN pause.

    How it appears

    the app asks you to turn VPN off or says there is no internet

    a marketplace opens without VPN but fails with it

    a bank or Gosuslugi rejects a foreign IP

    you need foreign services via VPN and Russian apps directly

    How to fix it

    1

    Enable split tunneling for Russian apps if your client supports it.

    2

    Exclude banks, Gosuslugi, marketplaces and Yandex from VPN routing.

    3

    If the client has no exclusions, temporarily pause VPN for these services.

    Common questions

    Is this a WersidePN issue?

    Usually no. The Russian service itself may block VPN or foreign IP logins.

    Can everything work at once?

    Often yes through split routing: foreign services through VPN, Russian apps directly.
