Re: [squid-users] Squid not routing when logged into VPN

I've seen several VPN solutions implemented by companies that disable the
connection to the local network when the company-VPN is started.

An easy test to verify this :
- ping your linux machine (192.168.1.3) : this should work (if the
linux-firewall is not blocking this)
- start company VPN
- ping 192.168.1.3 again : If this doesn't work anymore, the VPN probably
changed your routing table and disabled access to your own local network.

If so : I'm afraid you will have to convince the company-guys ...

Subject: [squid-users] Squid not routing when logged into VPN

I have a very basic home network set up and I am trying to use Squid for my
proxy. I realize it may be a little overkill, but........

I have squid running on a linux server (debian) and as long as I am not
logged into my companies VPN, it works fine. The other PC's on my network
are routed through the Proxy a well but are not used for VPN connections.

But once I log into the VPN, all of my HTTP traffic is no longer routed
through Squid, but onto my companies VPN network. (My client machines is a
IBM notebook running XP)

I have Internet Explorer set up to use the Proxy server. I use the linux
servers IP address (192.168.1.3) and default port (3128).

I realize this may not be a squid problem, but any help and/or pointers are
appreciated.
