Using the VPN Connection
Now that your VPN connection is working, whenever the remote PC needs to access an IP address
on the firewall’s LAN, the VPN client will automatically establish the connection. This is fine
when you know the IP address of a resource on the network. However, since Windows Network
Neighborhood broadcasts are not IP traffic, and are therefore not routed by the firewall, you will
not be able to browse the remote LAN without taking a few more steps. These steps are described
in “Accessing Remote Resources across a VPN“ on page 6-23.
Note: While your PC is connected to a remote LAN through a VPN, you might not have
normal Internet access. If this is the case, you will need to close the VPN connection in
order to have normal Internet access.
