Nope. Extremely annoying.

Proton VPN uses the Android killswitch, which prevents any connection not going through the configured VPN on a system level. This comes with the downside that lokal connections do not work as well. Depending on your usecase and POV, this can be a positive or a negative. Proton could probably implement their own killswitch, but note that a non-system killswitch can simply be circumvented - which is probably exactly why they don't offer it (yet).
No. The kill switch literally stops anything that doesn't go through the VPN. Even if you turn on split tunnel.
Oh dang. I thought all kill switches had this limitation. So there are VPNs with kill switches to protect my torrenting from detection, while simultaneously allowing me to stream my Emby content locally?

On my android device there's a setting in the advanced settings that says it should be able to do this.
On MacOs... Not a clue sorry :( maybe there's something similar in the settings?
