I have just setup a TP-Link VPN router with Comcast cable. The vpn is for outside users to connect to the network resources by pptp vpn connection using their windows vpn client.
Here is my issue. There is a setting in the VPN Router that allows enabling / disabling VPN client to Internet. In other words, if client is connected successfully to VPN, if the setting was enabled, it will allow the client to browse on the internet thru the client hence using the LAN's internet bandwidth which can bog down the network.
On the other hand, if I disable it, then the client is only connected to VPN & LAN and has no internet connection.
As I searched online, I found there was a flag in windows VPN client (Use Remote Gateway) and unchecking it would take care of the issue. Sure indeed unchecking it gives user their local internet connection and allows them to connect to the VPN however the user is unable to access any remote LAN resource nor is he able to ping anything.
I am sure there must be some way to leave that flag unchecked (use remote gateway) and perhaps add some static route or something either on the router or the VPN client that will allow VPN user to connect to VPN but at teh same time maintain internet connection (not at cost of the remote LAN)
