Re: VPN service -- Quick Poll (split tunneling?)

["Miller,James R" <millerj () UAKRON EDU>]

We disable the use of split tunneling. There are several thoughts on this but we feel that the possible risks with this 
are not really worth any type of benefits it may provide a small percentage of the users.

For those that have answered yes, would you mind outlining whether you allow split tunneling or not? I would also 
appreciate your rationale one way or the other.

I've always been taught that split tunneling is a really bad idea, but this topic has recently come up in our remote 
access project.
