How do enable split tunneling &nbsp;when using the Windows 7 Miniport PPTP client?<br />
<br />
And, since doing split tunneling is a client function, why should split tunneling help the VPN router itself? &nbsp;When I am connected to the VPN router, it is denying other clients to connect to the computer inside the firewall?<br />

When I connect to my Cisco RV082 VPN router from the outside, the VPN connection works fine except I lose connection to a system inside the firewall via a mapped port (firewall hole). &nbsp;The mapped port I am using is 18835 which has nothing to do with the range of the VPN. &nbsp;When I close the VPN connection, the communication through the mapped port resumes fine. &nbsp;Any help would be appreciated.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
