Hugh,

This is one of the major reasons I hope they do not decide to stick with 
the GlobalProtect "Cisco-like" VPN service in the long term.
The VPN connection steals all your traffic, whether you want it to or not.

Cisco's idea of a VPN is where you (MegaCorp Inc.) want to be able to 
monitor and restrict all your employees' traffic from their company 
laptops, which are the only things allowed to connect to the VPN and 
must only be used for strictly company business.
Which doesn't exactly fit a university very well.

Jules.
