Motivation

This project was created to avoid unnecessary traffic being routed through my workplace NGFW firewall. Only the internal network resources I actually need are routed through the VPN.

Project status

There are currently no public releases. The project is intended primarily for my own use, although it could be adapted for specific user groups, corporations, or individual users. It is not a consumer-grade product; therefore, it would be offered under an individual licensing model rather than as a mass-market application.
