Getting around a VPN [closed]

Question

I work at a very large company that requires a VPN at all times unless you are connected to their internet which is extremely common I know. There is one issue that this VPN causes that makes my job alot more work. For my job I have to connect to devices via ethernet to communicate with them kind of like a raspberry pi. But the issue is the VPN takes any ethernet connection as a internet connection and tries to encrypt it but obviously it fails because it's never able to connect to the VPN server because that ethernet connection doesn't connect to the world wide web. So it forces me to either use the internet or have a connection to one of the devices but never both unless I'm on my company's internet which almost never happens as I'm usually at many different buildings. My colleges and I have only been able to find one way around this and that was by using a virtual machine to forward the ethernet connection but this solution is extremely lengthy and a pain to use as the you need to boot into a vm everytime. Does anyone know of a solution to a problem like this? Is there a way to trick the vpn into not encrypting certain connections? Let me know what you guys know.
