What is the difference between Global mode and Partial mode?
In 5UF VPN, Global mode and Partial mode describe how much of your traffic goes through the VPN.
Global mode:
- Most system traffic goes through the VPN.
- Good for users who want a more consistent VPN route.
- Also more suitable for apps that do not support proxy mode well.
Partial mode:
- Only selected websites, apps, or rule-based traffic goes through the VPN.
- Other traffic continues to use the local network directly.
- Useful when you only want specific traffic to use the VPN.
How should you choose?
- If you are not sure, Global mode is usually the simpler starting point.
- If you only want a small part of traffic to use the VPN, choose Partial mode.
The naming may vary slightly on different platforms, but the core idea is the same.
