Unable to route all traffic through VPN

cn flag

I'm able to connect to a SonicWall PPP VPN via their NetExtender client. While connected, I'm not able to access certain private domains that I expect to be able to access. I believe this is because not all of my traffic is routed through the VPN (wrong assumption?). I would like to route all my traffic through the VPN to see if I can access those domains.

I have tried the solution often proposed for this problem:

ip route del default
ip route add default via 10.1.130.104 #IP of my ppp0 route

But this leaves me with no connection.

Here are some useful outputs from my system while connected to the VPN

ifconfig:

How can I route all my traffic through the VPN?

Thanks!

Before deleting your default route, you first need to add a new route to the VPN server via your normal default route.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
