When connected to our VPN service, policy states that all traffic will go through SLAC. We do not use split tunneling.
After connecting to the VPN, I could not access my local network resources (such as my printer at Home)
This is a security feature of the new VPN. Once connected to SLAC, your system is isolated from the your local network for your protection. In order to do things like access a local home network-shared printer, home file shares etc., you will need to termporarily temporarily disconnect from the SLAC VPN.
After connecting to the VPN, I can no longer print to my Printer in my Office
It is possible that your laptop has been configured to print directly to the printer. Please contact your IT Departmental Support contact in order to configure your printer and laptop to use the SLAC centralized print servers.
