Makes me appreciate SSH all the more :-) Can't use SSH though.. only VPN.
This is my first serious adventure into VPN... I'm running a LOT of extra services on my home computer... a web server, MythTV (with web access), VoIP clients etc, and I DEFINITELY do not want to route that traffic through the VPN tunnel. Am I "safe" to assume that root level processes (or processes belonging to different sessions and users) that are using the network are not rerouted through the VPN tunnel once it's opened?
If this is the case... a solution would be to just start up a second session (same or different user) and do my work related stuff (via the VPN) in that session and leave my regular session up and running in a different terminal.

That's not how networking works without custom routing statements. I think the Cisco VPN server and clients could be setup that way but it's been almost three years since I had to play with them that I don't remember. Leave your default route as it is without the VPN connection, after you connect, and see if you can still see traffic from the VPN side. One thing I can tell you is to make sure your home network address space is different from the VPN network or you will definitely have problems with routing. Correct routing rules will be the trick if it works. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
