Thanks all! And thanks BiPolar for your extremely funny (and informative) posts! I laughed through all of them. You should write a book about computers for laymen, it should be a block buster.

Regarding the VPN issue, I hoped the routing I had entered would fix it. But nooo. I know one way of fixing it though. Another poker player said he uses ZoneAlarm pro and has made some setting so that all traffic that is:
Any IP --- TO --- VPN IP
VPN IP --- TO --- Any IP
goes through as normal, while all other traffic is blocked.

This supposedly fixes the problem but he wasn't sure it was the most elegant solution. He says it seems to take a bit of CPU.

Do you guys think that looks like a good solution? Or do you know of a better one? Someone mentioned ports.
