Does a new Split Tunnel require client restart?

We are implementing a split tunnel to separate 365 traffic. Once we configure the Split Tunnel, will the user be required to restart either the client or the PC? before this becomes effective, or should this be an automatic process... If so... how long before it kicks in ?

Hi @dgray1 ,

For basic split-tunnel changes, only a GP disconnect and reconnect is required. I have tested this change. It kicks in immediately on reconnect.

I have not tested this with split tunneling based on destination domain, client process, and video streaming application, which requires the GP licenese, but I assume it would be the same.

MacOS requires system extensions for split-tunneling. That would require a reinstall.

Thanks,

Tom

As per @TomYoung reply. You need to refresh GP to update any split tunnel change/addition.
