<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone.  I've been using a simple and free VPN PPTP service for a while, i've been using a couple of them found on the web. I recently installed HOTSPOT SHIELD, I disliked it and uninstalled it.  Now I try to connect to my free PPTP VPN's and it gives me Error 619. Anyone have an idea how to fix this? thank you]]></description>

<title>How to Manage Two Network Connections - Public and VPN</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28305928</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello All,

Thank you for this forum, it is a great resource.  

My question has to do with managing VPN traffic.  I recently joined a company that has a corporate VPN for file sharing.    I have high speed FIOS (50/35) and my office laptop is wired (over Netgear Power-over-AC, working well).  

When I connect to the VPN, that takes priority for all subsequent traffic it looks like, which slows me to a crawl.  Is there a way to set an effective priority or sequence for selecting the network adaptor?   For example, I'd want it to use the VPN last.  Or is there a way to associate some processes or domains to the VPN adaptor and have all other traffic mostly web traffic go to my publicly facing adaptor?  I do have to use some websites over the VPN so it is not a clean as saying file system access (via Active Directory) vs. web traffic...

Thanks for your help!

Mark]]></description>

<title>Internet connection lost after installing VPN</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28308304</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi 
  
I recently installed HideMyAss on my PC with no apparent problems, and once I&#146;d ascertained it was doing as I&#146;d expected, I then shut my PC down. However, later that same day I switched the computer back on, and was unable to gain access to the Internet (my web browser is Firefox). 
  
I had earlier ascertained that since I&#146;d installed HMA, 2 new local area connections had appeared in the &#145;Network Connections&#146; area. LAC5 appeared to be inoperative, but HMA appeared to be using the new LAC4. However, when I switched back on, the Network Connection panel stated that the network cable for LAC5 was unplugged. Upon opening up the HMA application via the icon in the taskbar, a message in the Dashboard appeared, stating that the program configuration and server list did not load correctly, etc. etc. 
  
The funny thing is that my internet radio and IPad (upon which I haven&#146;t set up HMA) were both working with no problems whatsoever, presumably because they were using my original local area connection, i.e. the one which existed before I installed HMA). 
  
Following advice from HMA technical support, I removed HMA from my PC, and the two new LACs have been removed, but I&#146;m now in a worse situation than I was before, i.e. I still can&#146;t access the Net from my PC (but can do so via my Ipad & internet radio).  Can anyone tell me how this issue can be rectified? Is there anything I may have done which may have caused this situation? Can anyone recommend a VPN other than HMA which will not give rise to these complications? 

Please could you bear in mind that you&#146;ll be replying to someone who is not a techie, so I&#146;d be very grateful if you could do so in relatively simple terms.
  
Many thanks in anticipation of your assistance.]]></description>

<title>VPN service that stays connected?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28087876</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi,

I originally posted this in the Networking forum not realizing this (VPN) forum would be much better.

Sorry for the duplication.

Here goes...

I've been using Witopia for about a year but I'm not pleased.

Two major problems.

1. It simply won't stay connected and does not automatically reconnect.
About the longest connection I've had is three days; but that's a rarity. Sometimes it disconnects after only 10 or 15 minutes!

2. Even when the application they provide to make the connection says it's connected, it's NOT. In those instances there will be no connectivity at all either via the Witopia VPN tunnel or directly via my ISP. In those case, I have to disconnect, whereupon my ISP connection resumes and then try to make a new VPN connection.

All is all it's very frustrating.

So when my year is up I plan to switch services.

Can you recommend one that stays connected and, hopefully, isn't much more expensive than Witopia.

Thanks,

FF]]></description>
