Hi, Mathieu -

This is probably by design; you'll need to talk to the
administrators of the VPN to find out what you can do
about it.

What you're asking for is called split tunneling and most
VPN administrators don't allow it - they route all IP
traffic through the VPN to prevent a workstation from
becoming a bridge between a trusted network and an
untrusted one.

Hope this helps -
