Lose connection to MJ when I VPN

Post by s5nake5 »

Hello,

I use magic jack when i work from home, but when i VPN into my clients network my magic jack doesn't work. Is there a way to keep a recurring IP connection of my MJ to my home network and not my clients?

Thanks for your help

Sounds like they are not allowing split tunneling. i.e, after you vpn,all your lan traffic is being directed to the vpn tunnel. I don't know what vpn software your using, but if you can try and set the vpn adapter to not use the default gateway of you clients network. If the VPN software is controlling that through a policy of some kind, then your out of gas. What you could try to do to get around that is to set up a virtual machine on your pc. When you need to vpn, you do it from vm. Policy would only affect VM.
