I understand there are general concepts like Full and Split tunnel, I just can’t grasp the concept according to textbooks. What makes different models…well, different?

Assuming you know how a vpn works in general, the difference between a full tunnel and a split tunnel is how much of your data goes through the VPN.

In a split tunnel, only data going to a certain network/location/server etc actually goes through the vpn. The rest of your internet traffic goes straight to wherever its going.

A full tunnel means that every bit of data that leaves your computer to somewhere on the internet goes through the VPN first.
