Ideas on how to avoid losing LAN connectivity when connected to a VPN

[Anonymous]

Hi, This could be a very trivial question, but there it goes. I was wondering how to avoid losing LAN connectivity (and so connection with the resource PC) when connected to a VPN. VPN clients usually edit route table so that all the network traffic goes through the VPN interface. Editing route table entries usually result in VPN client being restarted and taking control of the route table again. This is a very typical scenario and I don't see an easy solution Is there a known way of implementing a BluePrism process (in a resource PC) which requires VPN connectivity to client's network? Thank you very much!

The closest you might be able to get is changing the network adapter priorities, setting your VPN adapter below your LAN.

VPN clients only do what they are configured to do. You can most likely set it up to only route traffic to specific networks via VPN connection.  For example, openvpn has --route-noexec option, then you can set up your own routes, but you should probably discuss it with VPN admins first and ask them to only push required routes on connection.
