2 NICs 1 for VPN traffic, 1 for LAN traffic in Windows?

Post by seanvree » Thu Jul 21, 2016 10:42 pm

I know this can be done, but I'm having trouble finding the right info:

Scenario:

I have DDWRT installed on my Netgear R7000 that sits behind a Comcast cable modem.

My headless Win 10 Enterprise box w/ 2 1GB NICs is running OpenVPN client software as a service.

I need to try and route all traffic from this windows box only (not entire lan traffic) thru the VPN, and all LAN traffic thru the other NIC.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Great! Do you have a good resource to start this project?

There are many things out there talking about this issue, but my concern is that I need all INCOMING LAN traffic to be routed thru a static NIC, and all outbound internet traffic thru the 2nd NIC and then thru the VPN.

Thanks!
