Fraffic still goes through my ISP instead of VPN

Hi,
I have set up my VPN on OSX Server.
I'm connecting with PPTP. It looks like I connect ok, The internet connect window tells me I'm connected, and the counter is working, but my internet traffic is still going over the local ISP. For example, when I'm at a hotel, I can connect to the internet, but I've got to change my e-mail settings in order to send out e-mail... It's a reap pain, so I hope to set up VPN, connect via that and then send e-amils through VPN with out having to change my e-mail settings.
However, it appears that I'm connected to VPN, when I look at network settings, it shows that I'm connected through BOTH VPN and Airport.
How do I tell my Powerbook to send traffice either for web browsing or e-mail to use the VPN connection?
Thanks
Ethan-

we are each reading it a bit different..
Here is the bit I am reading. Even this is worded a bit wrong.. to suggest two devices are on the same port.. but I think we can read the two devices are plugged into the same AE.
hence any device connected to the Gibabit ethernet port of my airport extreme communicating with another device connected at the same airport extreme Gibabit ethernet port would actually go at very low speed ?
If two devices on a local lan are plugged in by ethernet to the same device.. then all local traffic should remain in the switch chip of the device.. in this case the Gigabit AE.. The actual processor of the AE should not even see that traffic.. that is what switch chips do.. they can handle local MAC addresses and all traffic between the devices is handled purely on the switch. The computers would need to pull DHCP via the main router.. and that will go at 100mbit but the amount of data is trivial..and obviously all internet traffic goes out via the slower gateway.. but that is not a problem because internet is normally much slower again.
To change the scenario slightly,
If the second computer was plugged into the main router which is 100mbit.. then all traffic between the two computers would be slowed to the 100mbit.. Because it is no longer contained on the single gigabit switch of the AE.

RV042G FTP still goes through WAN1

I have created a protocol binding rule and even a bandwidth rule to make sure outgoing FTP needs to go through WAN2 interface.
But it still goes through WAN1, it only works when I disconnect WAN1

Try binding all ports Filezilla uses or whatever your FTP program that you're using.

I'm behind a firewall and nobody can connect to my server or transfer files / directory listings
You have to configure your firewall to allow incoming connections on the ftp port (default: 21), as well as allowing outgoing connections from the server. In FTP Active Mode, FileZilla Server tries to use a port one less than the ftp port for outgoing connections. If that fails it tries to use a port one larger than the ftp port and after that it requests a port from windows. It may be best to allow all outgoing connections from the server. Further you have to allow a port range for incoming connections for passive mode transfers. You can specify this port range on the "passive mode settings" page in the settings dialog in the server interface. In most cases, a range like 5000-5100 is sufficient. With certain firewalls, it may be possible that FileZilla can't determine the external IP address. In this case you have to enter the IP address (or your host name) on the passive mode page in the settings dialog. In case you've a dynamic IP (most dial-up users), you can also choose to retrieve the ip address from a website.

Group messages are going through as texts instead of imessage

Usually when me and my friends have a group message it's fine, it's all going through iMessage and I've never had a problem but yesterday my messages were failing to send and today it says at the top 'Outgoing' instead of 'Group' like it usually does and also my messages are going through as a text not an iMessage but only on the group message? Help

If you have others that are receiving your imessaging but not the group you are attempting to send to then do this:
Click on your text messaging area using imessaging enabled and then type a message to yourself. Do this test to verify that your imessaging apple server is working properly. IF you get the messsage back to you in BLUE this indicates to you that both the outgoing and incoming text messaging is working as imessaging. With this piece of information verified that will indicate there are connectivity issues with individuals or all that are a part of the group you are attempting to contact. Please do not conclude that at a point in time this communication worked via imessaging that there may be some in the group that are now having conectiviity issues of their own.
Good luck, Friend.

Messages failure to send but still goes through

I hope someone can help. This is a tough subject to search for since it's similar to other known issues but somewhat different as best i've found.
A few days ago i started getting 'messaged failed to send' notifications from my phone after sending an imessage. That has happened before, but this time the message was also delivered (and not via text).
The problem persists across my macbook (10.8.5) and my ipad. Each time the message shows as 'delivered' and then a failure notice or icon appears. Sometimes after i've received a response from the person regarding the message i just sent.
It's somewhat annoying because it causes my phone to buzz each time i'm warned, and doesn't inspire confidence because at some point a message will fail.
I've tried restarting all my devices and i've also tried turning messages off and on from my phone and with no luck.
Any other ideas of cause or solution?
Thanks

HT5622 How do I unregister my phone number. I no longer have an iphone but text are still going through as I messages

New message sound going through speaker when I con...

I use the latest version of Skype for Mac, and after connecting my bluetooth headset the notification sound still goes through my speakers. Sign in sound and calls instead go through the headset. Is there any hidden setting I need to change? My sound output is set as "Same as System", and the Sound in Preferences is set to go through speakers.

I was about to try your suggestion, but after sending a few more test emails, I discovered that it does in fact play the sound sometimes. I sent about 20 test emails, and they were all received using the "idle" command, with about 75% of them playing the sound. There was a 5-10 second delay between the messages being received and the sound playing that I don't remember from Snow Leopard, but I'm not positive about that.
It shouldn't be the actual sound that is the issue, being that it is played sometimes, but I still don't know why it's not playing every time. I tried receiving messages with the app running in the background, with it minimized, and with it as the active window, but I couldn't find any specific instance that caused it to not play the sound.
I wasn't having this issue in Mail 4. It didn't start until I installed Lion, which I did a clean install of, if it matters.
I'm still open to thoughts on this, and thank you for your help.

I am getting iMessage "not delivered" error message even though my iMessages are going through. how do I fix?

I am using iOS 7.0.4 and recently when using iMessage, I am getting undeliverable error messages whenever I send an iMessage. This occurs regardless of whether I'm using my iPhone, iPad or MacBook. The thing is, the messages are still going through. The attached screenshot was taken from a friends device who is getting the same messages and obviously receiving them.

Yep, same boat... And while I used to get messages simultaneously on my iPad and iPhone, it seems my iPhone is the only one receiving and it's not syncing convos like it was.
The undeliverable thing is HUGE though and driving my Apple family crazy!!
Any news on when we can expect an update to fix it?

You can "Move to Junk" and it should start doing it automatically after a few times:

Hi, anyone know how to make a complaint without going through technical support or speaking to a senior sales advisor as i have an ongoing issue since February and still I am unable to get it resolved

I recently got a replacement iPhone 4s due to a fault occuring with the phone and the replacement 4s that I received is turning off serveral times throughout the day by itself, I have been speaking to customer relations and technical support since the start of February in relation to my complaint and I seem to be getting a major runaround and still hae not had my issue resolved, is there anwhere else or even an email I can send my complaint to without going through those departments as I find the staff to be very unhelpful and also rude and aparently there are not managers working in Ireland at all only in the US, as I was told by a senior advisor yesterday

For EUROEAN customers only, here is the e-mail address where to send the complaint, : [email protected]
and also here is their EUROPEAN Customer Care centre postal address:

NO LONGER USING IPHONE BUT FRIENDS TEXTS GOING THROUGH AS IMESSAGES STILL

IMESSAGE HELP PLEASE:
I have recently ugraded my phone from an iPhone 3G to a Nokia. I still own the iphone but am just using it as an ipod. There is no sim in it, wifi disabled, imessages disabled, apple ID deactivated, icloud deactivated. However, I am not receiving text messaged from friends and family who have iphones as they are automatically going through as imessages on their phones. They have to then manually resend it as a text message. Why is this happening? They have deleted old message thread and my number and re-imput it but still no joy. They are not going through to the old iphone because I have disabled everything so they are just getting lost in space. It is frustrating for the other users as they have to keep resending messages. What more should I or they be doing for the messages to stop sending as imessages. Thanks

Sure you can. Whether your phone is in warranty or not, or how old it is, has no bearing on your ability to call AppleCare. So, if you want to fix this, call them.

My iPod Classic 160GB is recognized by computer, and goes through sync process, but still has old stuff...

My iPod Classic 160GB is recognized by computer, and goes through sync process, but still has old stuff...
I feel like there must be an issue with the library location, but I don't know how to correct that. My Dad recently wiped my computer and deleted Windows XP and installed Windows 7. I don't know what he did, but my iTunes library is still intact it seems. However, I've added quite a few podcasts that I'd like to sync to my iPod. When I connect it, it goes through the sync process, but ends quickly and says its safe to disconnect. None of the new podcasts are on there though.
Also, there was something really wrong with my iTunes account. When I went to buy something from the store, it wouldn't accept my password, and when I went to reset it, it wouldn't recognize my birthdate and month (I had the correct username). I ended up creating a new account and purchasing a song. This time, it did sync the new song onto my iPod, but not the podcasts I'm trying to sync.
As far as the library location, is there anything particular that has to be included in that library in order for it to be recognized by iTunes when you sync? Awhile back (before my Dad worked on my computer), I had changed the folder location to my external hard drive, but in researching, I saw that I still had in another drive some folders with music that is currently on my iPod. So it looks like I have some stuff on two different drives... Maybe this has something to do with it not syncing right?
I did check, and my Firewall doesn't have iTunes blocked.
As you can see, I'm not very experienced with all of this... Sorry for the confusion. If you are interested in helping me and have any questions, please let me know.
I'm hoping someone will be able to help me... I desperately want to be able to listen to my podcasts, as I'm a stay-at-home Mom of 4 little ones, and the podcasts are kind of an "escape" for me when the children are napping or playing. :-)
Thank you in advance for your help!

Oh my goodness!! I am absolutely thrilled right now B-rock!! I don't know how I missed it, but when I went back to change the setting like you mentioned, I noticed that the very top box that says "Sync Podcasts" wasn't checked! I have no idea why... But my heart started to race when I checked that box and all of a sudden it started syncing all my podcasts!! It's gonna take a long time (I have 385 of them!), but I am just so happy you helped me with this problem. Thank you SO much!

When I send a text, it goes through as a "text message" instead of an "imessage" and the person I am texting has an iPhone. what could be the cause of this problem?

It's not enough for the other person to just have an iPhone. They must be on iOS 5, have iMessage enabled and connected to the Internet.

Need multiple 'MAIL' Icons. Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain

Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain the butt. This has been a request from Apple users for many years. it's great you can now combine all emails into one, but some people want them kept separate and have separate icons on the main page. They could easily do this by having one "MAIL" account as white and another red. Or put MAIL 1 and MAIL 2. Or an actual label that the mail accounts are called on the ICONS!!
Help!

...I could switch back and forth between accounts while in the mailbox, with one button. I think that is what you are referring to? Whoever said it's just a simple switching - you obviously haven't had the pleasure of using an Android device. It's not that quick to go back and forth - definitely not efficient...
Not that it matters a lot, Android vs iPhone interface is largely a matter of personal preference and what you know... I'm not sure which one you're saying is not efficient...
In any event...
I currently have two email accounts setup. My iPhone main page Mailbox settings reads:
Mailboxes
Inboxes
All Inboxes
Gmail
[email protected]
Accounts
Gmail
[email protected]
I wish there an efficient way to move back and forth while in the "Inbox" between accounts. Also, Why does one gmail account show as "Gmail" and another as the actually address?
The names are based on the names you gave the accounts when you set them up.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the account you want to re-name. Go to the "Description" field and put in what ever you want.
Second, there is no way to quickly choose a bunch of emails to delete. I have to manually go into each one and move it to the Trash folder.
If you tap the edit button in the upper right while in mail, you can select multiple items to move, delete or mark (flag).
I don't want any of the condescending remarks, that I've read here and in other forums. I'm honestly looking for a solution, which I think you are too! One thing I realized is that iPhone users in these forums are really defensive and quick to say "that's how it is, live with it, if you don't like it go away" Um...the only thing that tells me is you are pretty bitter and have kept telling yourself that, to force yourself to like your device. I prefer to express my issues, and find solutions. There is ALWAYS a solution...
I think what you will find is that many people here, myself included, tend to get a bit short with people who start off with attacks or whining about how something has been asked for for years and should be easy, rant about things that have already been beaten to death multiple times in the forums, talk about how much better Android or BB are at something (really... if it's that much better, why did they buy an iPhone to begin with?), etc., or continue to ask questions that could easily be answered with a simple search, or even just by looking back at the last dozen posts to the forum, half of which probably asked the EXACT SAME question.
I don't think any of us go out of our way to be rude or uncivil. That said, attacking the people who are attempting to help you is much more likely to generate a response of 'if you don't like it, go away', than it is to generate something that will be truly helpful.
