I use an OpenVPN client to connect to my office network to run a remote control client (VNC, LogMeIn) from home. I think that the server is the Untangle OpenVPN server. My understanding is that while connected, all my internet traffic is routed through the office's internet connection (am I right?). Can I split the traffic such that only specific browser windows or specific websites will be tunneled to the office, while the rest of the traffic will get directly to the 'net?
For example, I want to be able to remotely control my office machine while at the same time not to bother the office network with browsing Stack Exchange sites?
Additional question - is the default the VPN and I have to explicitly reroute any other IP address, or can I make the VPN the exception to the rule? If so, how? – ysap – 2011-10-20T14:32:16.287
AFAIK, all client-side VPN will add virtual TAP-unterface to Nrtwork Connections. You can just enable|disable "Use default gateway" in Advanced TCP-IP settings (General Tab) (tested on by my XP-host) – Lazy Badger – 2011-10-20T14:44:56.233
OK, I am now connected from my XP machine via VPN to my office win 7 machine. Typing route print 0* shows a table with a few MAC (?) addresses, one Network Destination (which seems to be my local home network IP addresses) and one Default Gateway address (again, my home router address). I also see in the OpenVPN window the IP address and port of the remote network (I think). What do I learn from that? I want to redirect one LogMeIn session through the VPN and the rest of the traffic to go directly out to the 'net. How do I do that? – ysap – 2011-10-22T19:16:47.163
Alternatively, I want to route the creativeLIVE video stream I am watching now directly out while having all the rest go through the VPN - this is less desirable but I can live with that too for now. – ysap – 2011-10-22T19:26:35.653
