VPN overrides other traffic?

[JimmyFo]

Hi, quick question - if I were connected to one office by a VPN from my home, and I were trying to use a chat client (Jabber), sometimes the chat works, sometimes not. I would guess that this is because sometimes the Jabber client is routed through the VPN where it is blocked, and other times is a direct connect through my home connection. Is there a way to route it past the VPN?

Thanks,
James

Correct. this is be design. If you don't want the traffic pass through the VPN gateway, you may want to uncheck use gateway on remote network. This search result may help,

Hi Bob,

I currently have the following problem. Please see "Citrix Secure Access VPN keeps disconnecting on DSL" in this forum.

I wonder if you can tell me how I can do similar thing to "uncheck 'Use default gateway on Remote Network' on VPN connection" in Citrix Secure Access.

Thanks.

ict2000,

I haven't used Citrix for years. However, what you can do is modifying the routing table. Good luck!
