Re: More Than One VPN from Home?

Nathan - IMO the remote client MUST use the SBS as its default gateway. You
can bypass this with an IE setting on the remote client, but it is a huge
security risk. You have a client with a direct, potentially unfiltered
Internet connection on the one hand, and with a full, unfiltered VPN
connection to your SBS on the other. This is called "split tunneling," and
you can search it at http://www.isaserver.org/ or Google.

If you use The SBS VPN Connector, you won't have this issue.

Both Can Connect no problem.

The biggest problem I've found with the SBS VPN connector is by default it
sets the client PC to use the default gateway on the remote box, which is
less than ideal for regular web browsing - all traffic goes axcross the
VPN
and via the SBS box. With a manually created VPN dialup you can edit the
TCPIP properties and untick this option, however I've not found a way to
do
this with the SBS VPN connector. Presumably this option has to be
specified
on the SBS box as a property of the VPN connectors it subsequently
creates?

Failing using the SBS VPN connector, just using the XP VPN connector
doesn't
work for multiple computers on the same LAN unless your broadband modem
specifically supports NAT-T (multiple VPN traversal). Practically none of
the consumer level modems do this. The Cisco 837 works though.
