How can I change my VPN configuration so that not everything goes through it?

So I generally connect my laptop through my WiFi connection, which is set as priority number 1. For connecting to certain servers at my office (I work remote) I need to VPN in. Now, I'd like to be able to stay connected to VPN without ALL my internet data going through it. My understanding of the network priority list was that it would attempt the higher connection and then go lower. But I have WiFi at the top of my list and VPN at the bottom, yet everything is going through the VPN. I know this because I did a traceroute and every URL I hit is going through my work servers. I disconnect VPN and try again, they go through the comcast DNS server.
So my previous understanding of the priority list was that it would try through the highest priority, and then only if that didn't work it through go through lower priorities in order. Is that wrong? Is there actually a way I can get it to do what I want? Thanks.

With VPN software installed on your Mac all connections to the net will go through that VPN. you have to shut the VPN down for your normal traffic to go directly out to the net. That is just how it works.
Let me add that is the point of a VPN. So everything done on the computer goes through a Virtual Private Network to your workplace. Otherwise your computer could expose the work network to malware you might get from the Net on your computer.

  • How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.

    How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.
    As an example, html widget has white background on iPad, and black on mac. The same goes for interactive widget.
    The MathType text inserted is inserted as a image, and will have the same color when in fullscreen as when not. So I need the textcolor to be the same in both views. Anyone know how to fix this?

    We're still not communicating. This is why I wanted an example .iba.
    Here's a re-creation of my own, going off what you described. You said "all html widgets and all gallery widgets" have this problem. So I inserted a blank HTML widget and a blank Gallery widget, and typed into both. Inserted a MathType equation into both. I don't see any difference when I preview it on my Mac compared to the preview on the iPad. I want to help, but I can't help if I can't duplicate the issue.
    I've attached the screen shots and the .iba file [link to .iba file].
    Feel free to email me directly at bobm at dessci dot com. If you're uncomfortable giving some information here, tell me anything you want in email. I work for the "MathType company", Design Science.

  • When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" with the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message.  How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed

    When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" "behind"  the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message in the inbox.  How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed individually in the inbox instead of having them "stacked" behind the original message.  I'm afraid I might accidentially overlook messages the way they are handled now.

    Somebody here will correct me if I'm wrong, but what you have to do is go into Settings, Mail/Contacts/Calendars and under Mail, turn off "Organize by Thread".  I think that will make each message show individually.

  • I originally set up my apple account by spelling my email address incorrectly.  how can i change it?  it says that i need to verify from the email they sent but the email address is incorrect!

    Help.  I need to change my apple account and don't have access to my old email, how can i change this - how do i verify that it is me.

    You set up email accounts on the iPad in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add Account. You have a choice of some of the most popular email providers in the setup list or you can select Other at the bottom.
    Tap on the provider that is applicable and begin the setup on the iPad.

  • How can I change the e-mail address that shows when I try to order from iBooks?

    Hi.  I recently had to change my e-mail address, and successfully changed my Apple ID to reflect the new e-mail.  However, while trying to order a book through iBooks today, I noticed that I was asked for my password and that my old e-mail was showing.  How can I change the old address to the new one so that I can order from iBooks?  Thank you.

    Hi, fromsouth, and thank you for your reply.  When I go to store, there is no place that says "sign out" so I can't do this.  My old email is showing, and when I click on it I am asked for my password.  I tried my old password that I used with that email, but was told it was incorrect.  This is so frustrating!  I can't do any ordering on my iPad until this problem is solved.  Thanks again.

    This new change in version 25 will cost me hours of search time everyday.

    The printer chosen is configured in the SD customizing, there are quite many options how to configure that.
    > **I am not sure which parameter control the immediate print,how can i control PO print not immediately and I can choose own output device and printer ?**
    You can find the settings in
    - transaction SPRO
    - SAP IMG
    - Sales and Distribution
    - Basic Functions
    - Output Determination
    Usually it's not a good idea to print locally, this is especially not possible when something is processed in the background.

  • How can I change information on a website that I have linked to the my website I created?

    I created a website using dreamweaver cs5.5 and now my boss wants me to make changes on a webpage I linked it to a different site (one that I didnt create its with yahoo). He wants me to make changes on the site that I linked. Example is on my "Store" page I have an "express store" all I did was copy and paste that link to the yahoo store page for our company store so when people click  on the "express store" they automatically go to our store via yahoo. My boss wants the prices to be changed on the yahoo page...How can I do that? Do I have to make new files for the pages? By copying the source code from the pages into dreamweaver and make the changes there and just link to the "new" page. Example: My "express store" would go to the new page's I created. What's the easier way to make changes to a site I didn't create?

    In DW, you would go to Site > New Site and create a new empty site with just your ftp username, password and directory. You would then open that site in DW and choose the Get button from the Files tab to download the site onto your computer. Then you can make any changes you like to any page and upload them.
    There may be some oddities in Design View because it's likely that the site uses some proprietary code that DW itself won't render correctly. Preview In Browser to make sure the pages look the way you want before uploading.

  • We have 10 ipads connected to 1 computer and 1 account. How can I change/erase an account so that the seperate offices can use itunes and synchonise itselve?

    Hi there!
    Our department (marketing) wanted to control the input of the iPads. We found out it was useless because our salesteam wanted to personalize the ipad (think about projectspecific items etc.) It is impossible for 1 person to control 10 iPads and deliver input for each different iPad. So we decided that each office can have its own account. But these ipads are already connected to 1 computer (i know you can connect them to a max. of 5 computers, but that is not enough in this case..) They can make there own account with their personal creditcard or that of the office. How can i disconnect the iPads en still remain the files on the iPads?
    With kind regards,
    Willeke

    Whatt ype of "files" are you concerned about?  Are they purchases from the AppStore or music, video etc, or something else? If you are concerned about Apps, one method of centrally distributing apps is to purchase apps with a corporate credit card, and then "gift" them to the various employees.  The "gifted" app is sent to the email address you specify and can actually be forwarded, prior to install to another user for their use...
