[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Good catch. Bug could be either or both Apple or vendor +/- the VPN
implementation and if it also uses Network Extension Framework filters or
whatever. The BSD-derived source code in question in netinet hasn't really
changed appreciably in ages. Could also be an implied "6to4" bridge that
the VPN sets up that screws things up. With the VPN running, go go System
Preferences...Network...and you should be able to visually identify if
there's a virtual "port" or relay.
