   Re: VPN with WinProxy

   I'll answer my own question for the next guy's benefit.   
      
   Found out my ISP could provide another external IP address for me, so I set   
   up a small switch after my cable modem and from that go to the DFL-200 VPN   
   router and also to the external NIC on the WinProxy PC.  On those   
   PCs/Servers that need to worry about the VPN (e.g. those that serve network   
   shares) I set their default gateway to the VPN router.  In order to still   
   let WinProxy filter and do gateway AV, I changed the LAN Settings in IE's   
   Connection tab to connect to the Internet via Proxy and pointed to the   
   WinProxy internal NIC.  If the PC doesn't care about the VPN, I left the   
   default gateway pointing to the WinProxy internal NIC and WinProxy behaves   
   transparently.  This lets the DFL-200 do IPSec tunnels and be a PPTP server.   
   It also lets WinProxy work.  This way they're in parallel.  Trying to do   
   this as two routers in series was problematic.
