[Bug 124663] Re: No default internet traffic after connecting to VPN

[Doug Schaapveld]

Version7x, are you referring to the "Routes..." dialog under the IPv4
tab?  It appears to be there on my Jaunty box (as of today, anyway).

All,
The behavior of sending only internal traffic through the VPN tunnel is commonly called "split tunneling".  (Search on Wikipedia for more info.)  While large enterprises may consider it a security risk, smaller companies with limited bandwidth tend to prefer using split tunneling (in my experience) to improve performance.  Split tunneling is normally configured at the VPN concentrator (head end) rather than the client (though the client must understand and act upon the options passed by the concentrator).

In any event, I believe Jaunty can be configured (via NM GUI) to work
properly in all of these situations.  Bug 207506 has info on how to
allow split tunneling in Jaunty (oddly, Jaunty disables split operation
by default, unlike Intrepid, which simply respects the VPN
concentrator's wishes).

(Disclaimer: This is based on my observations and a pre-release OS.
Apologies if anything is wrong!)
