This connection is between my son's computer and my computer. Before
he bought his own house he and I shared files on our LAN. But now that
he is in a different location we had to set up the VPN to share files.
I see no reason for him to kick me off his machine. He has the same
NAT router, the same firewall and the same antivirus s/w that I have
so we are identically configured.

What "split tunneling"? He told his machine to use his Internet
connection and not use mine. I told my machine to use my Internet
connection and not use his. Why would the VPN s/w ignore those
instructions and set up any "split tunnel" in the first place.
