Re: If my VPN connection goes down, what happens?
I'm not sure what would happen w/ the windoze routing table if you manually do the route commands. First off, you'd have to use the -p switch to make the routes persistent. More importantly, is what does windoze internally decide to do for the assumed stupid user when the VPN goes down. I wouldn't be surprised if windoze goes "Hey, the VPN dropped and that's where my gateway was! Now I have these packets wanting to go out to the interwebs and my default route is down! What am I to do?? I know! I'll go back to using the gateway of the LAN connection. The user won't even know I'm doing them this favor! I'm so good!"
Meanwhile, you're on PP, the VPN drops, routing tables are automagically changed, and your PP client now tried to immediately reconnect from your home IP 1500 miles away in the US.
