Vpn

Set up a VPN connection on Mac To connect to a virtual private network (VPN), you need to enter configuration settings in Network preferences. These settings include the VPN server address, account name, and any authentication settings, such as a password or a certificate you received from the network administrator. Macs do not have their own built-in VPN. While the System Preferences interface enables you to establish a connection to a VPN server, the actual services are delivered by VPN providers.

I set up my built in MAC VPN (Cisco IPSec) client, but it does not appear the client is getting my split tunnel details, it routes all traffic over VPN in the split tunnel list and any traffic that is not configured to go down the VPN tunnel appears to just get droped an it just does not pass that traffic out the local internet connection. On the MAC built in VPN (L2TP) configuration in advanced options, you see a check box for 'Send all traffic over VPN connection', but that option is not available in the MAC built in VPN (Cisco IPSec), would this check box be similar to the Cisco client, 'allow local lan access', that particular feature allows for split tunneling in the Cisco client. Is there a way for the built in VPN (Cisco IPSec) client to get the split tunnel rules? Thanks

I have not set up the Cisco VPN server end, but I have used a Cisco system from the Client end. I can therefore tell you often the IT department will have set policies in the Cisco VPN server to force all traffic to go via their system whether you as a user would prefer or not. This allows them to monitor and filter all the traffic.

Apple's own VPN server can be configured in a similar way, although I chose to allow non-work traffic to go via the users own connection.
