Bryan is correct that security best practices dictate not using split tunneling. Were it enabled, whenever a user VPNed into UVM, they would effectively be creating a bridge between the Internet and the internal UVM network...not good. Re: wireless network printers, I can see the challenge, but it's still going to be tough for the same reason I gave above. If at some point there becomes a way to mitigate that exposure, we could certainly entertain it. Until then, it remains a pain in the butt for you, me and everyone. :) -dan On 10/14/2010 04:26 PM, Bryan Fleming wrote: > The VPN supports the ability but my understanding is that the ability > is specifically disabled by the network group due to security concerns. > > I wonder with home network printers becoming more prevalent (a good > number of the ones in staples tout their wireless abilities these > days) if that is something that may have to be reevaluated in the > future... > > -Bryan > > On 10/14/2010 3:43 PM, Jim Lawson wrote: >> As far as I know, the VPN (both the old Cisco IPSec kind, and the new >> AnyConnect client) don't allow "split tunneling", meaning that when you >> are connected, all your traffic must go to UVM.
