# VPN Compatibility

> How Velatir for Desktop works alongside corporate VPNs

Velatir for Desktop is designed to coexist with corporate VPNs, including split-tunnel and full-tunnel setups and zero-trust agents.

## How it behaves

Velatir captures AI traffic however your VPN routes it, and everything else continues to use your VPN exactly as before.

| VPN configuration | Behaviour                                                                                     |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| No VPN            | Velatir captures AI traffic. All other traffic is unaffected.                                 |
| Split-tunnel      | Velatir captures AI traffic. Traffic to corporate resources still goes through the VPN.       |
| Full-tunnel       | Velatir captures AI traffic and sends it on over the VPN. Corporate resources stay reachable. |

When the network changes (a VPN connects or disconnects, or the device roams between networks), Velatir adjusts on its own within seconds, so no restart is needed. If you ever need to force it, run `velatir restart` (administrator rights required on Windows).

## Zero-trust agents

Velatir works with userspace zero-trust agents that operate at the application layer. If another tool captures traffic at the same low level as Velatir, the two can conflict; contact support before deploying alongside one.

## Checking it

```bash theme={null}
velatir status
velatir logs --host -f
```

`status` confirms the agent is running. To watch live, run the logs command and trigger an AI interaction in a supported app.
