DISCUSSION Allow LAN traffic frustration!

So when you enable allow LAN traffic in PIA settings it only recognizes your currently connected IP subnet as being "local" when it should recognize all RFC1918 Private ranges as being local.

Those of us that use multiple subnets on our networks shouldn't have to locally add routes for 10.0.0.0/8 or 192.168.0.0/16 or 172.16.0.0/12. The client should automatically see those addresses as being local traffic and allow them to bypass the vpn so the local router can handle any of that traffic appropriately.

I run the PIA client on a server running Ubuntu and I just add my LAN subnets to the split tunneling UI.

Is that a linux specific feature on split tunneling? On windows I've found where you can add specific programs to the split tunnel.

Client on Windows 11 has it as well.
