[vpn-help] Unable to access external sites while VPN connected

[Steve Lund]

Make sure your split-tunnel settings have not changed at either the Client
side, or router side. This will cause the loss of general internet access
when connected.

Another way to verify this theory is to see if you can access LOCAL LAN
resources. Do you have a computer with a shared drive that exists on the
LAN on the client side? If you lose access, it's a split-tunnel issue.
