Hi Rick,

the issue is that Shrew does not create an routable virtual interface, as e.g. Cisco VPN does. Without that, you are not able to put any routing or NATting on it, and so it would not work. Maybe somebody implements that change in the interface section, and if already there, allow for more than one connection/interface to use. More like the way OpenVPN implements and uses its TUN/TAP drivers.

Regards,
Clemens Hoffmann

I have played around trying to do this, but have yet to be successful.

Here is an example of the goal

PC is connected to the internet via a local network  192.168.1.x which is connected on NIC1
VPN client is configure to tunnel data to remote gateway hosting a private range of 10.1.1.x
PC has a second NIC which is configured for the 192.168.2.x network.

I want to configure the PC so it is configured to route and will act as the gateway for the
192.168.2.x network and provide a route via the VPN client to the 10.1.1.x network.

The practical use would be...laptop with two NICs.  One is connected to the LAN, the other directly to
An IP phone.  If the VPN client is running then the IP phone can connect to the remote private network.

Anybody ever tried this?
