i have two adapters, one via ethernet and a wifi one, when i connect to my work vpn i would like only one of those to be configured for the vpn and the other one to work regularly is there anyway to do it? it's a SSL-VPN that changes my dns, and maybe my gateway(?) is there any way to stop it from doing that on one of my adapters and give priority to a certain adapter?

It is possible to configure your FortiClient VPN to only use a specific adapter, but the exact steps will depend on the version of FortiClient you are using and the operating system you are running.

In general, you can follow these steps to configure your VPN to use a specific adapter:

Open the FortiClient VPN application.
Click on the "Network" tab, then select the "Custom" option.
In the "Adapter Binding" section, select the adapter you want to use for your VPN connection from the dropdown menu.
Click on the "Save" button to save your changes.

After following these steps, your VPN should only use the selected adapter for the VPN connection, and the other adapter should continue to work as normal.

Note that this will only work if you are using FortiClient version 6.0 or later, and if your operating system supports the adapter binding feature. If you are using an older version of FortiClient, or if your operating system does not support adapter binding, you may need to use a different method to configure your VPN to use a specific adapter. You can refer to the FortiClient documentation or contact your network administrator for more information.

Thank you for the input, but i believe my forticlient doesn't have a network tab, are you possibly talking about the ZTNA or EPP/APT editions?

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.
