Howdy all, How can I convince NetworkManager that a specific VPN is to be used only for traffic outside the local network, whatever that local network happens to be?
I have an external VPN service that I use to avoid surveillance and censorship, both within organisations (like an employer or a café) and within my home country that mandates our ISPs spy on their behalf. So when I'm connecting to the various networks my notebook computer finds itself in, I want to connect to that VPN and have all internet traffic go through that VPN. Simultaneously, any addresses on the local LAN should *not* be routed through that VPN, because those local addresses are not routed outside the local network. What do I need to do in the NetworkManager VPN configuration, to ensure that when I've enabled that VPN it will apply to internet addresses but not local non-routable LAN addresses? Bear in mind that those LAN addresses can change dynamically as I move the computer to a different network, yet the VPN configuration should remain the same. -- \ “You don't change the world by placidly finding your bliss — | `\ you do it by focusing your discontent in productive ways.” | _o__) —Paul Z.
