VPN Routing Tables for Dummies?
|

| My job recently setup a VPN to let us access the LAN. This works great with
one exception. Once I connect to the VPN, ALL of my network traffic goes
across the VPN. So for example, if I surf a web site, that request goes over
the VPN, and not simply out to my ISP like it should. If I uncheck the "Use
Gateway..." on the VPN setup, I can't access the VPN at all.
I assume I have to setup my local routing tables such that, only traffic for
my work servers goes across the VPN, and all other traffic stays on my local
LAN.
Can someone point me towards a resource to help me solve this?

Visit your vendor's website and search for how to setup "split tunneling".

It could be that this is the corporate policy your company wants for
you to do. I've setup many VPN's such that the end-users were forced
to go through the corporates proxy web filters from their remote
location.
So, "simply out to my ISP like it should" is more based on the
corporate policy, which might not be part of the settings you can control.
But if they don't care either way, you want to do split
tunnelling. You don't say which VPN client you have, so its a bit
difficult to give any more instructions than to look for that setting.
