VPN Use with Browsing
----------
We currently have telecommuters using Contivity for VPN. They also need to browse the web for information at the same time. Is this possible?

Contivity Split Tunneling
----------
Gail,
I think you're asking about split tunneling. First of all, I think that split tunneling is insecure and can lead to your VPN being compromised. Can split tunneling be turned on for your Nortel Contivity users? Yes, you do it through the management consol.
If you are in charge of the VPN, be careful about what your users are asking for and whether it will compromise the reason for the VPN. VPN is a secure method of accessing remote networks. Split tunneling means that you can leave open the backdoor to the office while you have your front door guarded by a swat team. In summary, you can do it, but it's not advisable.
Does this answer your question?

cheers,< br>Phildom

Proxy?
----------
does the site use a proxy server -

If so- while they tunnel in they should just use the proxy-

Otherwise - No
