I have used VPN provided by such a site where the required desktop client
completely usurped the desktop's IP stack, preventing all the desktop's
connection to the Internet other than through VPN and the site's firewall
and proxy. This was to prevent any bridging of the site's intranet to the
Internet. It was particularly frustrating to users who couldn't use their
local network printers while connected to VPN.
Of course while they connected to that VPN their public ("home PC") IP
addresses were inaccessible from the Internet.
