in theory, but in practice many VPN have problems when there are
multiple layers of NAT.
In order to access your PC your laptop has to be a member of
192.168... but to access the VPN you have to be amember of
172.29... --- The VPN client gives you a "virtual adapter"
to allow your computer to be a member of BOTH IP sets.
