no vpn:
192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.0.101 
metric 1
default via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0  proto static

vpn:
144.32.196.175 via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0  src 192.168.0.101
192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.0.101 
metric 1
144.32.0.0/16 dev ppp0  proto static  scope link
172.16.0.0/12 dev ppp0  proto static  scope link
default via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0  proto static



   Are you setting a default route over

If I understand the question, I automatic (VPN addresses only) set the 
route.
the routes are:
144.32.0.0 (255.255.0.0)
172.16.0.0 (254.240.0.0)
