I see, said the blind man. I'm not a subscriber, but just from their main web page, it looks like it is both. The VPN part prevents your local ISP (or anyone using them) from spying on you. The proxy part allows any traffic you send through there to have additional processing or filtering by them instead of by you (which can include hiding your location). Once the traffic leaves WiTopia, it is still subject to spying, but if you are the target, it is much more difficult for the spy to pick you out of all the other traffic. (And of course, you have no way of knowing whether WiTopia or someone who hacked into them is spying on you.) I think ipfirewall(4) or ipfw(8) or route(8) could be used to selectively route traffic, but configuration would not be as GUI-simple as Apple-provided things. I haven't used a VPN in seven years, and it wasn't Apple's, but maybe WiTopia, if their tech support is as good as they claim, can answer your question. Curious, why do you want to bypass them for some addresses? Do they do things you DON'T want? -- Wes Groleau Nutrition for Blokes: Re-engineering your diet for life http://www.phlaunt.com/quentin
