You might remember the problem I had with sending mail
while the VPN was connected. I just got that fixed. I
can't take the credit. I finally contacted the people at
vpnsecure.me and Shane gave me the
solution.
First I had to add this to the hosts file.
74.125.137.16
smtp.googlemail.com
Then I had to enter this. 10.0.0.1 is my router's IP
address.
route add -net 74.125.137.16 netmask 255.255.255.255 gw
10.0.0.1
Then I was advised to put that in /etc/rc.local which I
haven't done yet. After following the instructions it
worked. I thought I would pass along the solution in the
event someone else finds it useful.
