How can I disable 'Use default Gateway for remote networks' setting in Windows 10?

Question

I have been disabling the 'use default gateway for remote networks' option to bypass unnecessary traffic from going through vpn. But after upgrading to Windows 10 I can't change the setting since the IPv4 Properties does not open up when I click it.

Is there any other way to access this setting?

If the IPv4 properties don't open, then I'd say you probably have a bigger problem that you should be concerned about first. — Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007, Aug 10 '15 at 15:35
@Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 well, he isn't alone with that problem. I have a fresh Windows 10 Installation here and the Properties button does nothing. There a number of TechNet Topics but so far, silence from Microsoft. — enzi, Aug 18 '15 at 15:45
This was a bug. It was fixed in TH2. See related answer [here.](https://superuser.com/questions/949306/windows-10-windows-vpn-ipv4-properties-not-accessible/979698#979698) — StackzOfZtuff, Mar 14 '16 at 13:00
How did you even get to this dialog box in Windows 10? I can't find anything like this in the current version of Windows. — Jonathan Wood, May 17 '18 at 22:44
@JonathanWood Easiest way is to go to Control Panel-> Network and Internet-> Network and Sharing Center-> Change Adapter Settings (on left)-> Right click any adapter and select properties. You will see a dialog like this open up with Networking Tab on it. — AsifM, May 17 '18 at 22:49

You can use this powershell command to enable/disable default gateway on VPN:

Set-VpnConnection -Name "myVPN" -SplitTunneling $True

Tried earlier, but my tracert goes always through VPN, even after applying this command. And yes, I know name of "myVPN". :( – Jiří Herník Sep 01 '15 at 10:45

what if I am using VPN Client called 'FortiClient' ? I can't list or set config using this above command. What is the solution for that. – Paresh Mar 14 '16 at 21:09

Something is missing here. What does `True` mean? Do, or do not, use the remote default gateway? – underscore_d Jan 11 '17 at 10:51

$True mean this setting will be enabled, default value in windows is $False – Madmucho Apr 07 '17 at 11:47
I tried this, and it resulted in no traffic going through the VPN at all, not even the VPN-only sites -.- – Attila Szeremi Oct 10 '17 at 10:53

If you go to here: %appdata%\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk open with text editor and for every Vpn connection listed change IpPrioritizeRemote=1 – change this to 0 to disable

Nice, the tool is cool when run from `win+r` by `rasphone`. – Qwerty Jun 13 '16 at 14:10
Great answer. But now I found that the VPN I'm using automatically changes this back to 1 when connecting. How can I prevent that? – John Stoneman Oct 02 '19 at 09:44

Are these 'either-or', or 'both-and'? (Number 2 on its own looks equivalent to the accepted answer.) – mwfearnley Jun 20 '22 at 15:46
