Background-
I have 2 NIC's on my desktop with first NIC connected to my main router providing internet. The 2nd NIC is connected to the WAN port of another router.
I have started a VPN connection (OpenVPN or L2TP) and shared this with my 2nd NIC to broadcast as a VPN WiFi via second router. This arrangement is currently working.
Requirement-
Currently, when I use this desktop's internet locally, I will be routed via the VPN connection. I do not want this. I want my desktop to still use 1st NIC internet. I want the VPN connection to solely be use for Internet Connection Sharing with the 2nd NIC.
What I have tried-
Changing Metrics in network adapter IPv4 advanced settings
(For L2TP only) Unchecking 'Use Default Gateway on remote Network' option
I would appreciate any help in this regard.
