Hello Is there a way to set up poptop so only traffic to my office
subnet goes across vpn. In other words I want to set up poptop so if I
am at home and I go to google, the traffic goes directly to google and
not through my vpn. Is this possible . Thanks. |

Poptop runs on the PPTP server, and you want this on the PPTP client.
PPTP uses the PPP protocol which in turn uses the IPCP protocol to pass
IPv4 parameters, and I don't know any IPCP options allowing the server
to "push" routes to the client like OpenVPN does. On the client side, if
it uses pppd you can add a command in the script /etc/ppp/ip-up or
create a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ to add the route to your office
subnet when the PPTP link is up. On Debian I would do this :
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/pptp :
#!/bin/bash
Thanks for the reply Ill leave like this for now. My client is win
xp.

if [ $PPP_IPPARAM == "pptp_office" ]; then
ip route add <office_subnet> dev $PPP_IFACE

Then you should ask in a Windows networking newsgroup.
If there is no other solution, you can add the route manually after the
PPTP connexion is established, even though it is not very convenient. |
