RE: basic VPN question

If you do what you are suggesting, aren't you establishing a dual tunnel?

Doesn't this then create a hacker route around the corporate firewalls that are in place to protect you?

 You go in the Properties of the VPN connection client, and then go on
the Networking tab.  Choose TCP/IP Properties, click on the Advanced...
button.  UNcheck the use default gateway on remote network.

That'll create routes so that the only traffic going through the VPN is
the remote LAN traffic.

Cheers!

Hi,  
        I've setup a VPN from work to my home and I would like to avoid
to use the VPN to browse the internet. It runs Win2k3 server.

Is there a way to pass through the VPN only for the "remote LAN"
addresses?

And use the local internet to browse?

Thanks
