Troube with VPNs

[everylovesme]

Whenever I try to use a VPN (In this case cyberghost5) it just disconnects my internet and when I turn it off everything goes normal again. I also tried Hotspot Shield and I doesn't work

I have no experience with those two programs you mentioned, but it sounds like the VPN adapter has a default gateway assigned which is overruling your usual default gateway thus killing your connection, set the VPN's adapter's default gateway to blank and see if the problem persists.

Assuming it is allowed by the host to which you are connecting (otherwise it will refuse the connection), make sure split tunneling is turned on.

I can't seem to find how to disable the default gateway, it might be because I'm using Windows XP (SP3), I know it's a bit (very) old but I've got no other option. When I go to the advanced settings of the adapter where the settings should be it just shows me this

Sorry for the Spanish in there (I'm Argentine)

In the previous window before going into "advanced settings" you can select TCP/IP version 4, click on it to select it and then choose "properties", post an image of that window.

I see, seems the VPN server is assigning you a default gateway, it shouldn't be doing that, unless you can get the admin to fix that, your only chance is to enable the splitting-tunnel option like Onus said in your VPN software.

I'm going to try to uninstall the VPN and see if that changes
