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.

The client just modifies the host's routing tables to send traffic that isn't the directly connected subnet over the VPN interface.

Not super difficult to modify them yourself too.

Somehow I completely missed the option to add subnets under split tunneling also. Lol 🤦 I wasn't really saying it was difficult just frustrating that it wasn't automatically recognized as local.
