Re: [PCTECH] VPN questions

Route 1: Work stuff thru VPN.
Route 2: Play stuff directly to home connection.

If you make changes so that this works, you are opening a security hole to your 
company.  Basically anybody who can get to your pc thru route 2 can then access 
your company thru the route 1.  This is why most if not all network admins will 
set it up so that once you start the VPN, you can't access route 2.  If you 
truly have a business need to access the Internet while using the VPN, have the 
admin change it so that you can surf thru the VPN.  This is the most secure way 
as far as the company is concerned.  Except for those cases when you have a 
virus on your home computer and you start up that VPN connection...;-)
