AWS Client VPN macOS 3.7.0 split-tunnel not working

0

Hi,

I have an AWS Client VPN endpoint with Split-Tunnel Enabled configured.

After upgrading to the macOS AWS VPN Client 3.7.0, it appears like the split tunnel functionality is not working anymore.

I can see the default route 0.0.0.0/0 being configured route via the tunnels IP. It is however not part of my Client VPN endpoints route table.

For full transparency, there are the routes that are part of my Client VPN endpoints route table: 10.0.0.0/16, 10.2.0.0/16, 192.9.200.0/24, 192.168.190.0/24, 10.1.0.0/16.

After downgrading to 3.2.0 of AWS VPN Client, this is the same section of the log. Not that there is no route change to 0.0.0.0 as expected from a Split-Tunnel VPN configuration.

Let me know if you need more information and if there is a workaround of configuration change I can make to fix this.

The 3.9.0 has fixed this behaviour.

  • I still have the same problems in 3.9.0 - is it possibly not resolved?

    I get this in my routing table after connecting to the VPN with Split Tunnel enabled. It's also a new thing for me - I had no problems with this before.

This is still the case on the 3.8.0 release. Does anyone have any idea or need more input to debug? Happy to provide it if anything else is needed.
