If my PC has a LAN connection and a virtual connection (VPN), how can I make the web browser use the LAN connection to connect to the interweb. It tries to use whatever connection gets connected last. There must be a way to configure this.

iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth# -s w.x.y.z -d all -p tcp --dport 80 --state NEW,RELATED -j ACCEPT

where # is the number of the adapter in question and w.x.y.z is the ip address of said adapter if it is static

I believe you can also change the metrics of your routes so that traffic on VPN subnets prefers your VPN interface while other traffic prefers the WAN interface

I don't know how to do this! The ONLY thing that needs to use the VPN client is RDP. What do I do?

dont even have to do metrics, just set the vpn to not use itself as the primary gateway when connected (in windows)

What you want is split tunneling.

but, whatever VPN server/concentrator you're connecting to, may have it disabled, as it's a huge security risk. If so, there's no real workaround.
