When working from home we need to connect to a VPN and then an RDP session.
Im wondering if its possible to only have the RDP traffic go over the VPN, currently all traffic does.
I have tried unticking "Use default gateway on remote network" under the IPv4 properties of the VPN connection but when that is unticked the RDP doesnt work.
I only have a hostname for the VPN that we connect to and not the IP address.
Is there anything I can setup or change on my home PC to allow for this sort of split traffic?

I think this can be done with host routing rules. The only way I know how to do this is at the router level. I.e making a rule for port 3389 and use the VPN as the gateway for that traffic only. – Tim_Stewart – 2018-02-28T18:57:54.070
2Some VPN packages call it "split tunneling" but talk with your VPN admins because one company I worked with in the past had strict rules per the data that everything once connected to the VPN had to go thru their VPN in case a machine had some sort of screen capturing bug on it that it'd force that to go thru their tunnel and they'd have this traffic also go thru packets scans to detect such things. It was related to hipaa/PHI data the RDP sessions connected to I think. Seemed silly and a bit overkill to me but they made the rules so.... – Pimp Juice IT – 2018-02-28T19:05:59.497
@pimp juict it. I probably should have mentioned the security concern. +1 to you sir – Tim_Stewart – 2018-02-28T19:35:41.393
