Response to: Re: Loss of internet when connected to VPN
Thanks for the reply. I have checked the order and Built-in Ethernet is above PPTP. netstat -r normally gives: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 192.168.1.1 UGSc 6 4 en0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 14 3290 lo0 169.254 link#4 UCS 0 0 en0 192.168.1 link#4 UCS 1 0 en0 192.168.1.1 0:20:78:da:e3:e2 UHLW 6 0 en0 868 192.168.1.50 127.0.0.1 UHS 0 1 lo0 After connecting the VPN Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 10.1.2.150 UGSc 1 5 ppp0 10.1.2.150 10.1.2.151 UH 2 0 ppp0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 13 4107 lo0 169.254 link#4 UCS 0 0 en0 192.168.1 link#4 UCS 1 0 en0 192.168.1.1 0:20:78:da:e3:e2 UHLW 1 0 en0 1092 192.168.1.50 127.0.0.1 UHS 0 1 lo0 vpnsvr_address 192.168.1.1 UGHS 1 1 en0 Note: vpn server address obscured for security It appears the VPN ppp0 interface completely replaces the default routing. Reversing the order makes no difference. I can set the routes manually each time, but I don't believe this should happen. I would expect to get a route to 10.0.0.0/8 via 10.1.2.150 and the default route left alone. Note it adds a route via the original default gateway to the address of the VPN server. There appears to be no way of setting no default route for the pptp interface. Any other ideas, Alban
