vpn config help

[jkilgrow]

I'm guessing you are talking about the "Only use VPN connection for these addresses" field?

If so, this is a space separated list of ip address ranges. This is so that the vpn will only try to use vpn connection for that particular ip address range. If you don't specify this network manager will try to use vpn for all your ip traffic. So, it will even try to use the vpn connection for things like www.google.com, etc. This will result in your computer not being able to find that address. So you will be able to get into your vpn network and nothing else.

Let's say that the ipaddress range for the network that you want to vpn into is 128.132.10.1 through 128.132.10.100. You would put 128.132.10.1/100 in that field so that vpn is only used when trying to go to something in that ip range. If you have multiple ip adress ranges you would do this:
128.132.10.1/20 128.132.10.50/100.

I hope that helps.

Oh! By the way....I'm having the same difficulty. However, my problem is that I can connect via vpn fine at work but not from home.

Any suggestions there?
