Windows 10: Selectively disabling VPN software for web browsers

Ahh, So ! Thanks for the clarification.

 

I am using Avira VPN. I want to disable it for Google Chrome and Firefox (in order to enjoy the maximum speed of my home internet connection) and enable it for rest of all the applications on my computer. How can I do it? I checked information on VPN tunneling on different websites and videos but couldn't find the step by step procedure to set it up for specific VPN software and browsers

:)

 

Web browsing via VPN

Arqd,

Yes, I can select VPN connection as a default Access Point in standard Nokia web browser on Nokia 5800 phone when I am using SymVPN software.

I am not familiar with Lotus Mobile Connect software.

 

Web browsing via VPN

What kind of VPN software are you using on your Nokia N73 phone?

Chances are that you are using:

- SymVPN from www.telexy.com

- or NCP VPN from www.ncp-e.com

- or Nokia Mobile VPN (mVPN) from www.nokia.com





I am successfully using SymVPN on Nokia 5800 for Web browsing, MailForExchange,
connecting Intranet and making VoIP calls over VPN.

About your problem with WEB browsing over VPN connection. I saw a comment in FAQ section for SymVPN, saying that for some Nokia phones and firmware versions, users need to make some kind of refresh for web page after first usage of standard WEB browser
with VPN connection, after that all should be fine. Probably this trick will work for you too.



Couple weeks ago I have tried Opera Mini over VPN and didn't notice any problem.



On Nokia 5800 I can access VPN Access Point via Destination folder where I keep my VPN connections created in SymVPN. I guess there is no Destinations on your Nokia N73 and VPN Access Point should be available for selection in the same place where
regular Access Points are.

 

Hi, you really should avoid posting the same question on multiple forums. I answered you on another.

A VPN is designed to cover your entire computer, not part of it. Especially for the web, you would want the VPN to protect you. Outside of having two wireless cards and directing your internet traffic through one, a VPN cannot be selective of what it protects. It will be either all or none.

At least that is the case until a VPN provider include a software-switch.

 

enable it for rest of all the applications


Could you further clarify ? A VPN protects your identity against tracking, etc as you browse. What other applications would be effected ? Your AV should protect your system.

Also, a good VPN will have minimal effect on browser speed. You may want to search for previous VPN threads (search box above) or google.

 

To me it sounds like they would like a software switch that encrypts only certain traffic on their VPN of choice.
