Do not route local network traffic via SoftEther VPN

I'm confused with configuring that the local network traffic is not routed via VPN. I want to use the VPN (connecting via Windows SSTP client, not using SoftEther client) at home (local ip: 10.0.0.2, gateway: 10.0.0.254, subnet: 255.0.0.0) and in other public networks.

To access my services in my local network at home, the VPN should not route traffic which is going to 10.0.0.0/18 to my VPN server which is hosted on a VPS (let's say my VPN server has following public ip: 165.25.82.1, subnet 255.255.255.0 and gateway 165.25.82.254)

When I am not at home (when at my friend's house or at work), traffic going to local networks with ip 192.168.0.0/18 should generally not be routed to VPN. All other traffic (to external websites/networks) should go via VPN, to browse securely.

Examples, what should happen when ...

  • accessing: 10.0.0.3 (webserver at home) -> using local ip 10.0.0.2 (does not go to VPN)
  • accessing: 192.168.0.3 (server at work) -> using local ip at work (does not go to VPN)
  • accessing: external servers like 8.8.8.8 (google) -> using public ip of my VPS 165.25.82.1 (all traffic does go to VPN)

Currently, all traffic is routed via VPN and I have to disable my VPN if I want to access services in my local network.

How can I establish this without changing routes on my clients (all should be pushed from the server)? I found several other posts, but they all cover cases that at the VPN server side there is a network. Thanks for your help.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
