Network adapter by user?

Post by RiptideC »

Hi!

I want to disable the VPN client connection for a specific user of my PC but keep the VPN available for others. Is it possible?

If I add one more network adapter... Can I "bind" it to a specific user or user group?

Or should I make some script to run at logon to disable or enable a network adapter according to the user who logs in the PC?

Sorry for the dumb questions.... :roll:

You'd need a login/logout thing for the "other users" to trigger the connection state (up or down), or have the users enable it manually.

Short version is that VPNs add routing information, so even if the user had a "different LAN connection", the routes would still be there to traverse the VPN.
