I have connected to a company's VPN connection, and this connection have not a internet connection.

I need to connect to internet. Can I define routes to connect the external traffic to the router home IP? It is possible?

I use GNU/Linux (Ubuntu).

I try to mark "Use this connection only for resources on its network" in VPN connection, but doesn't work the internal connections.

The Rangue IP in my local network: 192.168.1.2 (255.255.255.0) The Rangue of IP in my VPN connection (PPP): 192.168.2.58 (255.255.255.255)

Thanks you.

    Hmm, don't you have to be connected to the internet in the first place to make use of VPN? Otherwise, you clearly must be at your workplace I guess?

  • What VPN software do you use? Does it create its own virtual network adapter?

Reset to default

If you connect to your VPN you can set on route to a special Host for example with this command:

route add -host 192.168.2.100 dev ppp0

With this command you can set the default Gateway to your local gateway:

route add default gw 192.168.1.1 dev eth0

If there is any other default gateway you can delete it first with:

route del default gw

  • If you have overlapping routes you can set a route for a special network and the default gw match if no other route match.
