You will need to use the vpn endpoint address, essentially one that is dedicated to the vpn anyway.<br><br>Routing can.only be done per ip so.you can&#39;t add a route over the vpn.<br><br>If you don&#39;t want to have to enter another address, you could probably proxy it locally and send over the vpn to it&#39;s internal address.<br><br>-- <br>Dee Earley<br><br><div id="htc_header" style="">----- Reply message -----<br>From: &quot;Robert Gauld&quot; &lt;robert@robertgauld.co.uk&gt;<br>Date: Thu, Oct 7, 2010 09:18<br>Subject: [bitfolk] HTTP via PPTP to same host<br>To: &quot;Bitfolk Users List&quot; &lt;users@lists.bitfolk.com&gt;<br><br></div>What I would like to do is route all traffic via a VPN connection, even that which is destined for my vps (except of course the actual vpn connection).

<br>Is there a way to do this (ie all traffic except the PPTP connection goes through the PPTP connection) by tweaking the config at one end or the other, or do I have to essentially have an IP address dedicated to the VPN?<br>
