To do so open Control Panel, select Network and Sharing Center, and then choose “Change Adapter Settings”. However if you are using a Windows VPN client you can edit the configuration to allow split-tunneling. It is managed by the VPN appliance and will require the administrator to configure and enable if they see a need to do so. If you have an Enterprise VPN solution such as Cisco, Watchguard, Sonicwall, or others, as an end user cannot enable split-tunneling. Due the security reasons outlined above, I do not recommend enabling this, however in some cases it is necessary or perhaps you just wanted to know why. In order to simultaneously access the local and remote VPN network you need to enable a feature called split-tunneling.
If you don’t believe me have a look at the following Ted Talks video by Avi Rubin “All your devices can be hacked”.

Granted, there are many security features in place, or at least there should be, such as firewalls and NTFS security permissions to protect your corporate data, similar to the security corridor from the 60’s & 70’s TV show Get Smart, but the more of these doors left open, the easier it is for hackers. Either through the shared Wi-Fi connection, or even an “Ad Hoc” wireless connection, the person at the next table could conceivably route packets through your wireless device directly to head office. Or, consider an Internet Cafe’ where you are on the same local network as total strangers.

It basically isolates your device from the world around you so that Johnny playing video games in the next room cannot route traffic through your PC to the corporate site. This is to provide some degree of security by preventing someone with malicious intent from reaching the corporate server using your PC/Laptop as a stepping stone. There is a security feature in almost all VPN configurations that blocks all local network connections while connected to the corporate network, via a VPN. It is pretty basic but for those that don’t understand I thought I would address this in a blog so that in future I can just provide a pointer. There are constantly questions in various forums “how do I maintain internet access through my local router while connected to a VPN”, or “ how do I access my local TCP/IP printer while connected to a VPN”.
