When I'm accessing VPN from outside network on my Mac, I can access all resources (e.g. Remote Desktop Local Machines ) however I cannot access all websites under organization's domain.
PS: I have Windows 7 on my Mac and works properly with Mac VPN and can access all websites.

Hope if someone can help.

Welcome to our forums.

Sounds like you may not have your VPN configured properly in macOS. Check your settings in System Preferences, Network, Advanced, Proxies. If you can access those sites when you're booted to Win 7, your VPN is working as it should.

Thanks chscag. But I'm running Windows under Mac Parallels, which means I'm not configuring VPN for Windows separately but Windows depends on Mac VPN settings. I have the issue in Mac browsers however Windows works normally.

I've added all DNS of organization's website in VPN DNS tab but problem still exists.

It doesn't matter whether you're running Windows separately or in a VM. As I said above, the VPN is working as it should. You need to take a look at the "proxies" setting not DNS. If all else fails, choose another VPN. There are many to choose from, some free, some not free.

Since I found others have this same issue. I had a temporary solution by adding organization's sub-/domains in hosts file. This worked properly for me.

Hope if anybody can provide a root solution for this issue.
