Thanks.  I'll flip that setting when I'm at home.

I read the description on the setting and it is not at all obvious
that this is the symptom of the checkbox being unset.  I guess this
also explains the metric ton-load of warnings about dns rebinding
attempt for my phone trying to connect to the office's PBX server...

It totally made all of my VPN servers invisible.  Seems a tough
choice: protect against rebinding or make the VPN usable.
