When using a VPN, what's the difference between "Smart Tunnel", "Always Tunnel", and "Bypass Tunnel" ?

I'm at a client site, when we connect through the VPN with Smart tunnel, we can't get any access to the outside internet.

When connecting through "Always tunnel," we do get access

Explain please?

but i don't think that's what i'm doing.

I have it currently set on the "Always Tunnel" option, and it is connected to the internet
 
I belive if you smart tunnel refers to local setup databases that connect you with your companies servers, always tunnel is set for the gammot of everything, inside and outside, and bypass only works on the outside. I could be wrong, but this is what I am gathering.

that doesn't make much sense to me 😱
 
spooner,

There are only a few dozen ways to setup VPN tunnels so maybe a little more info would help. 🙂

What VPN products are you using as I've never heard of these terms before.

Split-tunneling is a method where you define what goes over a VPN tunnel and gets de-encrypted on the other end. So depending on IP address the traffic will get encrypted and tunneled, all other IP addresses are not sent/encrypted and just follow the default route untouched.
