## Briefing
- Hacker News: A new tool called Rouler enables Windows users to route specific applications or IP ranges through different network interfaces, such as running Slack over OpenVPN while sending Chrome traffic through Tailscale.

## Why it matters
Windows has long lacked a user-friendly way to split traffic across multiple VPNs or network interfaces per application. Rouler fills that gap for power users who need to isolate work traffic, bypass geo-restrictions, or manage bandwidth without complex scripting or third-party routers.

## Sources
- Reported · Hacker News · 2026-10-20 — [Show HN: Rouler – Steer Windows traffic per app or IP across multiple interfaces](https://rouler.io/)

## Watch next
Will Rouler add a CLI or API for headless automation of routing rules?
