Will there ever be a way to use an OpenVPN server with this application instead of Wireguard?

[S3RAPH-1M]

This is the only application I've found that allows the user to do application based split tunneling. But I prefer using OpenVPN rather than WireGuard. Will there ever be a way to use OpenVPN instead?

It is something I've discussed with the creator of WireSock but there is a significant amount of effort to support other VPN protocols. We are considering releasing a paid "pro" version that would have more features and help to compensate the time required to implement them.

Do you mind expanding on why you prefer OpenVPN over WireGuard? I'm curious if it is performance/tech debt/personal preference etc.

Really? Split tunneling is a pretty standard feature for most VPN clients. You may not be able to use the built-in Windows OpenVPN adapter, but I just googled "openvpn client split tunneling windows" and the first result was the official OpenVPN Connect Windows client, which supports split tunneling. You could also try looking on [removed because I'm not sure if this is just an attempt to spam this link] for other Windows OpenVPN clients and see if their descriptions include split tunneling.

It seems like including OpenVPN, one of the older and more easily accessible VPN protocols, would be unnecessary and completely out-of-scope for a project like TunnlTo.

This ia an old closed issue. Can you link us to the doco for application based split tunneling in the official OpenVPN client you linked to?

I searched the 7 pages of apps on the alternativeto link for "split tunnel" in the descriptions and found nothing, so I don't believe that helps OP or any future readers. I know some of the apps listed on there do support application based split tunneling but are locked to specific privacy VPN servers.

It's something we've discussed and isn't completely off the table, however it's not in our short term plans for the app.
