hello, I have created a pptp for windows clients. but I need that the exit to Internet is by the local connection of each client not by the VPN. How do I have to do it?
Hi,
You simply need to put vpn connection on client desktop’s and told the when they want to quit from internet, they must disable that connection. Or you can create a profile for vpn client’s on the server side and specify the “session timeout” and “idle timeout” to automatically disconnect the vpn clients.
“session timeout” for how much time your vpn client connection valid after they connect to vpn server & “idle timeout” is elapsed time since last activity on the tunnel.
Best Regards,
It’s client side option. Open IPv4 properties of PPTP connection and somewhere in there’s an option to use remote default gateway or something like that (enabled by default). Uncheck it and internet traffic won’t use VPN. But depending how you configured the whole thing, you might in turn have problem with routes.
If I uncheck that option, I browse through my public IP address, but I do not reach the VPN network anymore. Would I have to add some static route on my PC? or dedes the mikrotik?
You can do this on client:
Add-VpnConnectionRoute -ConnectionName "<connection name>" -DestinationPrefix <remote subnet>/<mask> -PassThru
Which is fine if you have only one or few, but highly impractical when there are many.
