Re: VPN hijacking

I've never heard of anybody actually pulling this off, but i'd be very
interested in hearing of any such experiences.

You should be able to reduce your exposure to this by disabling 'split
tunelling' on the VPN switch - so once you start your VPN session, your
normal IP stack gets 'turned off' and you can only be contacted through
the VPN tunnel.  If someone is already on the other side of the tunnel,
there's probably not much to gain from hijacking your session ;)
