BATCH FILE TO TO WORK OUT IF I AM ON THE LOCAL NETWORK OR REMOTE

There are a few commands you could use to query the state of your current network connections, and then look for things that indicate when you are VPN connected and when you are not.  Often the name of an adapter will contain the word "vpn" and that can be checked for, but that varies system to system based on the vpn client being used.

I would suggest you do the following commands on the system when not connected via VPN, and then do then when connected to VPN.  Then you need to look for the differences, and something that could be used to identify when a VPN connection is active.

If you want to post up the before and after output we can look at that and guide further.

netsh interface show interface

ipconfig /all

wmic nicconfig get /format:csv

I often prefer the last one, since the output can be parsed fairly easily in a BAT FOR loop, but if the firts one shows a clear difference for VPN that can be simple too.
