Packets that are addressed with non-routable addresses are typically blocked by firewalls and Internet gateways and will be dropped by any Internet router. The only exceptions to this rule are devices such as “proxy” servers that perform a network address translation (NAT) to dynamically re-address packets as they leave the corporate network. If you do not have a NAT device, you can enable Intelligent Client Routing so that packets sent from the Aurorean Client computer to an Internet destination are addressed with the computer’s own IP address (not the non-routable address allocated from the virtual subnet).
