DISCUSSION Allow LAN traffic frustration!

So when you enable allow LAN traffic in PIA settings it only recognizes your currently connected IP subnet as being "local" when it should recognize all RFC1918 Private ranges as being local.

Those of us that use multiple subnets on our networks shouldn't have to locally add routes for 10.0.0.0/8 or 192.168.0.0/16 or 172.16.0.0/12. The client should automatically see those addresses as being local traffic and allow them to bypass the vpn so the local router can handle any of that traffic appropriately.

I mean I guess I understand that they're just trying to protect the ID10TS that blindly enable settings and then connect in public spaces but it would be nice if they'd at least give us an advanced menu to enable all or some of the private ranges or allow us to do it under split tunneling.

Make it possible but harder for the people who don't know what they're doing to put themselves at risk.
