[Nottingham] [Non-Linux] VPN contention?

My experience is that Windows only lets you have one VPN connection through
which all your traffic is then routed.

Any chance you can get her onto an o/s that uses dnsmasq and the like so
that only the vpn-relevant stuff goes down the tunnel?

If not, maybe you could mess with the routing table so that you can
replicate the same thing. I've done something similar using "route" in cmd
but can't recall quite what I tweaked - the metrics I think. I wanted to
get non-vpn-related traffic to not use the VPN. I imagine you might be able
to do something with 2 VPNs, but it's all guesses.

HTH,

Dan
