Corporate VPN with Remote Desktop

I work from home a few times a week and use a Corporate VPN to connect to my remote desktop. The problem I have is the VPN replaces my entire connection so I'm always going through the corporate connection.

I use Cisco Vpn client 5.0.07 - I'd like the connection to just affect my remote desktop rather than my entire connection.

Would this be possible - I've gone through all setting and nothing works.

I also have an account with Astrill VPN - any possible way of making this work with a specific browser?

Thanks guys/gals.

Not really, no.. Use putty to open a SOCKS proxy, set your browser to connect locally to that port. You'll still go through the corporate connection initially but browser traffic will be directed through your proxy.

Otherwise there is no way to do what you're wanting because Windows VPNs just don't operate this way.

Thanks for the reply - I'll give that a shot.

Specifically I'd like to be able to run Steam and some games in the background - this VPN seems to block my connection for any game. When I'm at work it's not a problem connecting but this damn VPN.

I should built another PC..
