Some News From Intrepid, I guess the fix didn't make it into the final
release.   With a routing entry I can get HTTP traffic to be routed
through the default gateway. As tested by external IP address checkers
correctly reporting my (and not my office IP address). With the VPN
running I can use remote desktop protocols to machines on the office
subnet (192.168.57.150) so that has to be working too. However, HTTP
traffic is slower (i.e. web pages take longer to load) with the VPN
running despite being routed via the default gateway. In addition one
particular subnet address, that of the VPN server and office router
(192.168.57.2), gets routed via my default gateway (192.168.15.5). The
attached file shows my routing after issuing "route" in terminal with
and without the VPN running. IP of the office X'd out for security
reasons only, it showed the correct address. My routing table entry in
the VPN is address = 192.168.57.0 Prefix = 24. My understanding is that
any traffic to any IP address starting 192.168.57.XXX should be routed
via the VPN. Why is traffic to 192.168.57.2 being directed over the
default gateway, but traffic to other IP addresses in the subnet is
correctly trafficked via the ppp0. Is this a bug in the VPN's routing
table or some more global routing issue. Could my browser be using the
VPN connection to resolve DNS thus slowing down web access? If so why.
