Shared desks, shared networks
At a coworking space or cafe, dozens of people sit on the same network. With SoVPN on, the operator and the people around you can't read your email, files or chat.
At home, your internet provider can't see which sites and services you use during the workday.
Video calls and big uploads
Plans have no data cap and no speed cap, so a three-hour meeting or a large upload is fine. For calls, use WireGuard and a nearby city to keep the delay low.
If your call app doesn't behave well over the VPN, take it out with split tunneling. Everything else stays protected.
When your employer has its own VPN
Your company's policy comes first. Two VPNs running side by side often clash.
Split tunneling helps here. Exclude the company VPN client or work apps from SoVPN, and they connect the way IT set them up, while your browser and personal apps stay on SoVPN. Check with your IT team before you change anything.
- Go to Settings > Split tunneling
- Pick the mode that excludes the apps you choose
- Add the company VPN client or work apps and reconnect
One address for an allowlist
Servers, admin consoles and some cloud tools only let in approved IP addresses. Shared VPN addresses change over time, so they don't work for this.
Pro comes with one dedicated IP in one of 10 countries. Ask the system admin to add it once, and you can log in from home or from a work trip.
