Disable split tunneling

Split tunneling allows the VPNremote Client to simultaneously maintain both a VPN (secure) connection and a clear connection. This is the default. You must check the Disable Split Tunneling check box to turn the default off. When the default is off, only secure VPN traffic from the VPNremote client computer is allowed.

How you configure this function depends on your corporate security policy. With the default setting to allow split tunneling, a typical application might be when the client wishes to explore a public website while maintaining an email connection on the (private) corporate network. In a security-conscious organization where there is a perceived risk of intrusion into the private network through a remote client’s public connection, split tunneling would be disabled.

When split tunneling is disabled, the remote users see a message on their VPNremote Client console indicating Connected - Private access only.

The Preferences Dyna-Policy Defaults (Global) tab is used to define the dyna-policy defaults for the number of times a user can enter an incorrect password before log on fails and the number of minutes that a user is locked out after the password fails.
