But you only get two IP addresses on each device, right?
"Split tunnelling" lets you use your regular ISP for some apps but Proton for others. So you can use different browsers to appear to be two different people on a single web site.
If you're on Android, you could also set up a work profile and run the VPN with a different connection, and have 3 there.
Yes on Android I can do split tunnelling too as well as 4G. So a total of four IP's (not three).
It is annoyingly inconsistent that the Android app split tunnelling is done via an exclusion list but the laptop app does it via an inclusion list.
