A script to provide VPN split routing via PPPTP
Authored by: PigDawg on Mar 24, '03 08:51:43PM

Has anyone got this to work? It didn't work for me. I added teh fix_vpn_routing.pl file to /usr/local/bin not /usr/local/bin/admin. Is that important? Also, I added the two lines to set-hostname and finally I changed the permissions of fix_vpn_routing.pl to 755. What else is needed? I even rebooted my Mac.

How do I know its not working for me? When I am connected to the VPN Mail cannot connect to my AT&T Broadband account because it is now considered to be outside the AT&T network.

I had trouble with my connections "lagging out" at first. What you need to do is explicitly add DNS information to the PPTP section of your Network Preferences. These should be the ones that you pick up from AT&T when you're normally connected to that network.

Personally I am connecting through a wireless hub, and I used the DNS information that was in the WAN area of the status info on the hub.
