Re: Segregating VPN traffic

Hi,

It depends on the VPN software.  If it's closed-source software, it can be
a pain.  Do you have a work machine?  IMO, if your employer wants you to
use closed-source software that mucks with your routing table, they should
supply you with a dedicated work machine.

That said, you probably could run the VPN software in a VM and the VM's
traffic alone would be affected.

Regards,

Dianne.
