   It could be that this is the corporate policy your company wants for   
   you to do. I've setup many VPN's such that the end-users were forced   
   to go through the corporates proxy web filters from their remote   
   location.   
      
   So, "simply out to my ISP like it should" is more based on the   
   corporate policy, which might not be part of the settings you can control.   
      
   But if they don't care either way, you want to do split   
   tunnelling. You don't say which VPN client you have, so its a bit   
   difficult to give any more instructions than to look for that setting.
