When you connect with VPN, all of your network traffic is routed to
the server you are connected to. I don't want that - I run
BitTorrent, a personal webserver and so on, and that network traffic
should never be routed through my employer's severs. The easy
solution to this is to use VirtualBox and install a guest OS. I have
openSUSE 11.0 running as a guest OS, and I use that guest OS to VPN to
my employer. This way, all network traffic from the guest OS is set
to my employer via the VPN, and all network traffic from my host OS
stays where it should be, going through my private ISP. VirtualBox
allows me to easily isolate my working environment from my personal
environment.


I think is this situation virtual box is an overkill (I use it often, but for other purposes)

if virtual box can route to the vpn without you host being also on this vpn, this mean you can do it yourself also...

this mean you probably have to setup a second interface on top of the first, for example eth0:1 and eth0 and route eth0:1 to your vpn.
