Site routing in FollowNet for Chrome — send only what you choose
Use site routing when you want specific hostnames through the FollowNet proxy while other tabs stay direct — still browser-only.
What to know
Unlike iOS system VPN (all apps), Chrome routing is per-browser. It helps when one site needs an exit location and the rest of your desktop traffic should stay local.
How to use it
Add the hosts that need the proxy, connect the extension, and verify those tabs. Keep Kill Switch in mind if the proxy drops mid-session.
Limits and honest expectations
Routing does not create a system VPN. Apps outside Chrome ignore these rules. Free weekly traffic still meters proxied bytes.
