NordVPN and Sophos Site-To-Site IPSEC VPN.

Question

I have an XG-125 firewall with support for the next 5-6 years. I have an IPSEC site-to-site VPN set up to our corporate servers network from this firewall. When I use ExpressVPN on my PC I can access our corporate servers at "10.bla.bla.bla" using any Windows application (telnet, RDP, sFTP, etc). However, when I use NordVPN (or any other PC based VPN except ExpressVPN) I am blocked from accessing anything at "10.bla.bla.bla". The site-to-site VPN isn't useful at all. 
 Does anyone know why this is? Thanks in advance.

Hello Bill, 
 The problem is that NordVPN tunnels all the traffic. 
 The only thing I think might work for you, is to try split tunneling within the NordVPN settings, and set only specific APPs you want NordVPN to tunnel for example Chrome, other than that you might want to reach out to NordVPN for a way to tell their VPN to split the tunnel base into subnets.
