Can the other end of the VPN see what my other computer is doing?

If i have my work laptop VPN'd into the work network, and i have another computer, not on the vpn but connecting through the same home network router, can the server at the other end of the VPN see what my other computer is doing? i did a traceroute on it and it did not appear to hit the work network at all, i just thought maybe since it's using the same WAN IP.

NO.

nope, the vpn is specifically blocking any other traffic from entering the network. VPN is using a specific port that is attached to the IP address that the other computer is not so the VPN doesn't see it.
Reply:The idea of a VPN is to prevent exactly this.
