Re: Split Tunneling

When you create a VPN connection, by default, all traffic goes through the 
gateway of the remote network, instead of your local gateway.

Split tunneling sends only traffic for the remote network through the remote 
gateway, and the rest of the traffic goes through your local gateway.

Split tunneling is generally considered insecure, however, it does/can add 
convenience for an end user.  When I split tunnel, I can work on the remote 
network, but dropping and adding connections to the VPN doesn't affect my other 
app's, such as IM or streaming media.
