Check whether a VPN carries the intended destination
A VPN can be connected successfully while a business subnet still follows the local internet route. Test route selection for the actual service address.

Find-NetRoute -RemoteIPAddress 192.0.2.10How to read the result
In Windows PowerShell, the result identifies a best local source address and route for the destination. Replace the documentation address with the approved internal service address.
What to do next
Compare the selected interface and gateway with the VPN's intended split-tunnel configuration. If the route is correct, continue with DNS, TCP and application-level checks.
Before you make a change
Do not add broad static routes to bypass managed VPN policy. Capture whether the test was made before or after VPN connection.
