The company I work for allows me to connect to our network via Cisco VPN. Currently, the client configuration is a split tunnel allowing me a secured connection back to the office but still allowing me to use my own internet provider for general browsing, email, etc. The problem I am faced with is that in a few weeks, the client software will change and will no longer offer the split tunnel. With the split tunnel gone when I am connected to the company I can only communicate with assets on the corporate LAN. I have been told that there is something that can be done to configure the browser to work off the company's internet feed but they have a content filter in place that block chat sites, news groups, forums, web mail and other sites that may or may not be risky.
What I would like to know is whether it is somehow possible to beat the system and still have a non-censored connection to the internet? The problem is that I run a small side business and I need to have access to my web mail account and the new configuration is going to block me from getting to my web mail account. I have a second NIC card available if I needed it but I'm a bit confused as to how I could set the browser up to only use a specific IP.
Any help would be appreciated
