Howdy. My employer has started letting me work from home one day a week. However, in testing the VPN, it looks like it routes ALL traffic through the VPN, not just when I’m connected to my work computer via “Remote Desktop Connection”. Is there any way to avoid routing other traffic on my computer through the VPN?
Yes… disconnect from the vpn.
What VPN software did they give you to connect to the corporate VPN? If it’s Cisco Anyconnect, there will be an icon for it in yiur system tray. You can right click on it and choose the “disconnect” opion to disconnect from the corporate VPN. You reconnect in the same way, but you’ll need your username and password to reconnect.
There are ways to deal with this, but the “disconnect” suggestion is the easiest.
