Windows route table didn’t apply

by |Published

I’m using PPPoE dial-up connection instead of normal ethernet connection with a router. So there is 3 adapters on my windows 11 laptop, a physical one which shows connected but not recognized, a virtual one for PPPoE, and a wintun for the vpn. All the route are suppose to go through the vpn adapter, but it’s not happening for some reason. I tried to delete all other route except the one for VPN, but I still can’t capture any pacakge sent to the vpn adapter using WireShark, I’m expecting a few TCP package of even just any pacakge when I try to access whatever domain on chrome, but according to WireShark there is nothing sent to the VPN adapter, I tried it with both firewall on and off. So why didn’t the route table work?

I am expecting traffic sent through interface 207.174.6.254(wintun) according to the route table.

This is the route table before any edit
