The part that doesn't make sense to me is that the VPN client
apparently has an IP of its own that is routed and reachable -
otherwise you couldn't start a backup at all.  Yet the browser
connection doesn't show that as it's source. That makes me think it is
a proxy or something specific to the browser configuration (although
on windows this can also come from the system configuration).
