Specifying Routes for VPN on Ubuntu 7.10

December 18th, 2007

When Connected to my company’s VPN, I am not permitted to browse the web.  To overcome this, you can specifically tell Linux which IP address to route through the VPN.  Here is how I do it…

1. Select Configure  VPN from the panel icon.

2. Select the VPN of concern

3. Select the Routing Tab

4.  Check “Only use VPN connection for these address”

6. Add your routes for your remote site.  In my case I used “10.0.1.0/24 10.0.2.0/24″. Separate mutliple entry by a space.
