   But that's the way a vpn client is supposed to work:   
      
   Once you open a tunnel (through the Internet) to a corporate network (or   
   whatever), the VPN client must block all traffic bypassing the tunnel   
   (otherwise you'd have a direct connection from the internet through your   
   tunnel to your corporate network bypassing the corporate firewall   
   altogether).   
      
   As the operator of a corporate network I want to make absolutely sure   
   that only the connected machine can access the tunnel no matter whether   
   the remote client is itself part of a remote LAN that I know nothing of.   
      
   It also implies, of course, that once the tunnel is open the pc cannot   
   access local shares and network printers...
