+@code{openconnect} and @code{vpnc}.  Instead of trying to copy the behavior of
+standard corporate VPN clients, which normally reroute all your network
+traffic through the VPN, vpn-slice tries to minimize your contact with an
+intrusive VPN.  This is also known as a split-tunnel VPN, since it splits your
+traffic between the VPN tunnel and your normal network interfaces.
+
+By default, vpn-slice only routes traffic for specific hosts or subnets
+through the VPN.  It automatically looks up named hosts, using the VPN's DNS
+servers, and adds entries for them to your @file{/etc/hosts} (which it cleans
+up after VPN disconnection), however it does not otherwise alter your
+@file{/etc/resolv.conf} at all.")
