    <p>The VPN server software is whatever comes with Windows Server
      2019, and the instructions I got assume (incorrectly!) that you're
      connecting with a Windows box. I'll check with them about using a
      VM to access the VPN, it looks like the simplest solution to
      implement.<br>

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.

decommissioned the old Windows SBS 2011 server and now we will have to use their
VPN to access their network. They have said that this will result in all of my
home computer's internet traffic being routed through their network, as long as
I'm connected to their VPN.

Is there a way to segregate the work-related VPN traffic from my personal
traffic (i.e.: have work-related traffic go through the VPN connection, and all
other traffic go through a connection to my home ISP)? Could this be done by
using a virtual system to connect to the VPN, while leaving the host connected
to my home ISP?
