How to Send all traffic over VPN on Windows

Symptoms of the problem:

  • Windows shows you are connected to the VPN but your public doesn’t change;
  • VPN connection is unstable: VPN doesn’t work after switching between VPN connections
  • VPN connection is unstable: VPN doesn’t work after switching between Wi-Fi and Ethernet/LAN network adapters
  • You can connect to VPN, but your traffic is not tunneled through the VPN

Resolution

  1. Open your VPN connection preferences and click on a Networking tab.
  2. Choose the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties again.
  3. Do not change settings in the opened window and press Advanced…
    Check a check-box Use default gateway on remote network and press OK.

Windows may require a restart for the changes to be affected. Please do so.
