Subject: [gentoo-user] Enable "regular" network traffic when using VPN

1 Hi all,
2
3 I'm working from home today. :-) (*) To access parts of my employer's
4 infrastructure, I need to use VPN. So I installed NetworkManager, and
5 vpnc, and dnsmasq and configured it all. I can now VPN in successfully
6 and I can see the internal sites. Unfortunately, while VPN is active,
7 "regular" (i.e. non-internal) network traffic fails.
8
9 I am logging all DNS requests and I can see that dnsmasq is responding
10 correctly (and, in fact, identically) to, say, google.com with or
11 without VPN. But the browser just hangs. Until I disconnect VPN, then
12 everything works again. So it seems that I'm close but something is
13 still missing.
14
15 Any ideas?
16
17 Cheers,
18 Hilco
