Multi-Split DNS feature in the Microsoft Defender app is a solution aimed at managing DNS requests across multiple domains while using a VPN connection. Normally, when a device connects to a VPN, all DNS queries are routed through the VPN’s DNS server. However, in cases where a user needs to access resources from different networks simultaneously (for example, internal corporate resources and external internet resources), multi-split DNS becomes essential.
