4. Use Powershell to enable Split Tunneling

1. Start Powershell. You can do so by typing Powershell in the search bar and right-clicking the Powershell icon and choosing Run as administrator from the menu.
   


2. Enter the following command into Powershell and press Enter to run it (You should now get a detailed listing of settings for each VPN. Pay attention to the Name section and locate the name of your connection because you’ll need it in the next step):
   
   • Get-VpnConnection
   
   


3. Now, enter this into Powershell (Remember to change myVPN to the name of your connection that you’ve found in the previous step)
   
   • Set-VpnConnection -Name “myVPN” -SplitTunneling $True
   
   


4. Run that command by pressing Enter, and that’s it.

5. Set IPv4 properties manually via Powershell

1. Run Powershell as administrator. If you don’t know how to do it, have a look at Step 1 in the previous solution.
   After the Powershell starts enter this:
   
   • set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias  “My Connection” -ServerAddresses 208.67.222.222,8.8.8.8,208.67.220.220,8.8.4.4
   
   


2. It’s important to change My Connection to the name of your connection as well as IP addresses. Using the same IP addresses that we used in our example won’t work for you.

The next thing we’re going to try is another Powershell trick. Just use the above steps in that regard.
