Is there either a way to create a local policy to utilize and browse the local internet connection while VPNing into a PIX506e remotely? I do not wish to use Split tunneling because i wish to utilize the clients' local internet connections. Perhaps a recommended diferent client?

thanks in advance
 
Upgrade to v7, as I understand it. You can also use a PPTP client.
 
yo.

the 506 will not support ver 7

if you want the VPN client to use local internet you need Split-tunneling

you also need to run the cisco vpn client

** Note: Split tunneling is a Security Risk


"Split tunneling takes place when a computer on the remote end of a VPN tunnel simultaneously exchanges network traffic with both the shared (public) network and the internal (private) network without first placing all of the network traffic inside the VPN tunnel. This provides an opportunity for attackers on the shared network to compromise the remote computer and use it to gain network access to the internal network. A host-based firewall is an effective way to defend against network-based attacks. Furthermore, many organizations have chosen to disallow split tunneling."
