Yes but this isn’t the point I’m getting at — VPN doesn’t always mean you’re sending all your Internet traffic down the tunnel. You can choose to configure only specific networks to use the VPN tunnel.

It’s the case of every VPN, it’s just that typically people choose to send all their traffic through it rather than that destined to specific networks.
