Re: VPN Question
If you disable the "Use default network gateway", you will still have
access to the network resources behind the VPN - even internal
websites, Outlook, etc.
It isn't safe, per se, because you are able to bypass any protections
your office network admin provides and you can provide a conduit to
otherwise infect or damage the internal network with your
"unprotected" computer.
BTW: Hi Al!
