   That's as it should be.

   If the client is coded properly, You should have no chance of doing that.

   You should be aware of a few things:   
      
   The moment yout tunnel is established, your pc is part of your   
   employer's  network. To prevent You from compromising your employer's   
   network the vpn client must make sure that only your pc and no other   
   device on your local network has access to your employer's network.   
      
   Imagine another pc on your local network having an unprotected internet   
   connection open can abuse your pc with the vpn tunnel open (with or   
   without your knowledge) to send viruses, trojan horses or worse into   
   your employer's network bypassing that network's firewall completely!
