VPN (and VPN hacks)
How to split-tunnel with vpn-slice
and openconnect
tun0 is a VPN interface.
Split tunnelling is where you only want some traffic to be routed through a VPN connection, rather than all traffic. This is done using fancy things like IP routes and modifying the hosts
file.
vpn-slice
is a python utility which makes it easier to configure openconnect
or vpnc
to pass only selected traffic through the VPN.
sudo dnf install -y python3-devel
sudo pip3 install --prefix /usr/local https://github.com/dlenski/vpn-slice/archive/master.zip
Heavy credits go to Stefan’s Gist for this one.
