How long do you want to ignore this user?
Is a VPN tunnel created only between the individual computer opening the VPN connection + the VPN destination or does it hijack the entire local network? In other words, if I'm working at home and open a VPN connection on my work laptop, will traffic from a non-work laptop also be diverted through the VPN tunnel destination? Trace route to google.com gave me the same path, but whatismyipaddress told me that the two computers had different IP addresses.

Anyway, just wondering if my deviant girl + donkey pron video went through my work servers and if I need to avoid eye contact with the tech guys for the next month. Thanks.

Non-work laptop will be routed directly to the internet, not through the work-laptop's VPN tunnel.

Yeah if you're using vpn client on a machine, all other machines on the network are fine.

Even on that vpn machine you could be ok if it is a split tunnel with only work networking going through vpn and donkey porn through local internet.
