I use Surfshark on my PC and have encountered issues playing Warframe using a VPN in the past, in regard to party hosting and inviting friends. To counter this, I thought Split-Tunneling my VPN would mitigate those issues, as the traffic between my computer and Warframe would be exempt from the VPN service (if I understand split-tunneling correctly). However, what ends up happening is that Warframe will altogether reject my attempts to log on to the game, with an error message upon launch. This will ONLY happen when split-tunneling is enabled and not when split-tunneling is disabled and thus while Warframe not being exempt from my VPN.
If this is about VPNs being considered suspicious activity on Warframe, then it should be understood that I am trying to EXEMPT Warframe's traffic from going through my VPN. As far as I can see this has been an issue spanning several years now, and for the sake of the convenience of those who choose to use VPN services in general, the inability to Split-Tunnel while playing the game should NOT be an issue. I would like to see a fix for this sometime in the future, sooner than later. Thank you.
I see, thank you for clarifying. I've since found a sort of roundabout way of circumventing this issue by just using a browser extension variant of the VPN service instead of the desktop-wide application.
