Any Way to Circumvent VPN
Single Tunneling?
----------
I'm a consultant, and
forced to use the
client's VPN (Nortel
Convitivity) on a Windows
box. I would very much
like to work on my other
machine(s) [a Mac] but be
able to access the VPN on
the Windows box as a
"gateway" to the client's
LAN.
I've done a
lot of research on this,
and it seems that it's
impossible (or nearly so)
to get around the
single-tunnel
configuration that has
the following
(undesirable, from my
perspective)
implications:
1)
ALL traffic on that box
is routed to the client's
LAN
2) The second
NIC in the machine is
effectively disabled when
the VPN is active,
isolating the box from my
LAN and making any
communication with that
box (over my LAN)
impossible.
I'm
merely looking for a way
to be more productive,
here, to use better
development tools, be
able to access a printer
on my LAN,
etc.
The easiest
solution would perhaps be
to configure the VPN for
split-tunneling, which
would allow access to my
own LAN via the second
NIC. However, the
client's network admins
will not do
that.
So, I'm
trying to find an
alternative way to
achieve similar results
that would give me access
to my own LAN and allow
me to use the VPN as a
gateway from another
machine on my LAN. I've
tried a product called
NAT32, but have not been
successful with it. Has
anyone been able to use
NAT32 successfully to
achieve the objectives I
mentioned?
Many
thanks in advance for any
insight and help you can
provide! |
