Split Tunnel causing connection failures (MacOS)

I realized the issue was caused by the new Split Tunnel functionality in the current ExpressVPN macOS app.

After enabling Split Tunnel, the VPN would no longer maintain a stable connection. Especially after the MacBook went into sleep mode, I could not reconnect anymore no matter what I tried.

As soon as I disabled Split Tunnel completely, everything started working normally again.

System:

  • macOS 26.4.1 ARM64
  • ExpressVPN v14.1.0

Maybe this helps someone else troubleshooting similar connection issues.
