      Generally speaking, most VPNs used for business are a split tunnel, and aren’t forwarding all of your traffic, just the traffic relevant to your company resources that would otherwise be inaccessible unless you were on-site. So your internet traffic and regular browsing are still sent as if you had no VPN connection at all.

        I don’t think that’s actually true. Most route traffic through malware/protection software which would be bypassed by split vpns.

        There are also a number of attacks that target this sort of VPN setup so it’s my understanding it’s generally not a good idea.

        Routing is something you can control client-side. Well at least you can configure that all traffic should be routed over the VPN. If your company provides an exit to the internet over VPN is another issue, but I suppose most do.
