How can I modify my routes table after connecting to my work VPN(anyconnect) so I can still connect to the internet?

Question

It has been a few years since I have manually set any routes on windows, so I'm super rusty. Is it possible to run some route commands to change the routes after I connect to my work VPN so that my general internet still works, but the VPN traffic is still routed to its source? Below are my before/after VPN connection routes.

Answer 1

What you are configuring is called Split Tunneling.

First, modify the properties of the VPN connection to not be used as the default gateway for all traffic:

• Navigate to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings
• Right click on the VPN connection, then choose Properties
• Select the Networking tab
• Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties
• Click Advanced
• Deselect the box for "Use default gateway on remote network"
• Click OK to apply the changes to the interface

Next, add routes for the desired VPN subnets. This should be done with the VPN tunnel connected:

• Open a command prompt
• Run ipconfig /all
• In the list of interfaces, find the Description for the VPN connection created earlier. This will be needed later.

• Run the below command replacing the relevant information between the <> markings:

  netsh interface ipv4 add route <destination subnet> "<interface name>"
  

  For example, if "Home" is the name of your adapter :

  netsh interface ipv4 192.168.128.0/24 "Home"
  

  Use the same command, replacing "add" with "delete" to remove the route.
