Use VPN to disconnect internet connection?

[pizzaboy]

Hi,

I've just started using an IP VPN and need help with configuring it with ZoneAlarm (not sure if this is a ZoneAlarm question or not). I'm a bit of newbie when it comes to networking so please bear with me...

I want all internet activity going through the VPN and if the VPN disconnects then nothing will have internet access, not even through my standard internet connection.

Currently, connecting to the VPN doesn't prompt ZoneAlarm's "I've found a new network" message, so I'm a little lost with setting all those fiddly TCP IP, blah de blah...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

First, your connection to the outside world from your home is via the Internet. The VPN rides on the Internet and tunnel to whichever VPN server you are connected to.

So even if you disconnect your VPN the Internet connection will still be there.

Unless you have a direct dial-up or a leased line to your VPN server (that means not going through ISP's), I don't think you have a solution.

I highly recommend using vpnpower.net to unblock web-sites. I am using their services for more than 4 years with no difficulties.
