I use VPN software from Private Internet Access. However, I also have a gigabit network which I stream movies and TV shows over. Whenever I log in to my VPN, I am no longer able to access my media server (my desktop PC). Is there any way to set up my connection (or 2 connections?) so that my internet will always be routed through the VPN, but I can still access my local network? Then I can just always leave the VPN on. i don't want any Internet data to be passed outside of the VPN (I know there is a simple Windows setting to allow this, with data going around the VPN, which I do not want.)
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
 
Solution
"Log in to my VPN". Login on what? on your pc, your modem or router?
If you connect with the VPN with the modem you should connect.
