How to use Bypasser™ for Windows?

Bypasser™ is an innovative tool that allows you to control your connectivity by choosing what applications or websites to route via VPN and vice versa.

Bypasser™ has two options:

  1. Bypass VPN blocks selected applications and websites from using the VPN connection. 
  2. Route via VPN is an alternative, allowing only the chosen applications and websites to use the VPN connection.

 

Here are the steps that we will go through:

Select applications 

 

  1. Once you enable either Bypass VPN or Route via VPN, click on Select apps to start adding applications that will bypass the VPN coverage, or be routed through it.

  2. A list of all applications visible on your device will appear. To add the application to Bypass VPN, leave a checkmark in the square on the application's right.



    If you can't find the application on this list, click Add apps and locate an executable file for the application you wish to add.

  3. Now reconnect to any location on Surfshark, and the applications on the Bypass VPN list will bypass the VPN coverage.


    In case you wish to route specific applications only via VPN, select Route via VPN and enable it instead of Bypass VPN.

 

Select websites or IP addresses

 

  1. If you wish to bypass certain websites instead of apps, enable Bypass VPN below the Websites / IP addresses tab instead.

  2. Click on Select websites or IP addresses to start adding websites or IP addresses.

  3. Click Add websites or IP addresses.

  4. A window will appear with a field where you can input either a website or an IP address. Once you do, click Add.
