   192.168/16 is very much so routABLE.   
      
   It is just not routED on the global Internet (by convention).   
      
   Almost all IPs are routable.  It gets very tricky to say why given IPs   
   are not capable of being routed.  Beyond part of locally attached   
   networks and crap software, I can't think of think of any that can't be   
   made to be routed.

   Lack of a route is very different than the lack of ability to route.

   Do to vagaries of non-deterministic things, it's possible to have a   
   route to 192.0.2.0/24 through a VPN as well as through the local NIC.   
   Sometimes the most recent route to be configured is the route that is used.   
      
   Other times VPN clients play with policy based routing such that they   
   can intercept things ostensibly for white hat reasons.
