Question about DNS priorities when connected to VPN

  • 772

So I'm connected to a Windows VPN and I want the following conditions to be met:

  1. I want my internet connection to tunnel through to the VPN's internet connection (i.e. I don't want to use the machine's local network internet connection)
  2. I want the DNS servers on my local network to take priority over the DNS servers from my VPN network

How can I set this up on Windows 7?

vpn domain-name-system windows-7

  1. I don't believe you can do both. Setting the first option would prevent access to the local network (where the DNS servers may reside) which is how you get to the local internet connection (the other place the DNS may reside)
