PPTP Issue - Routing defaults to all traffic via vpn?

[Mr Gabriel]

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm the one who setup my pptp server, so
I know its not vpn server based routes, anyway, I think this might be
a network manager issue, I'd written a small script in the meantime to
correct my routing, which I run after I initiate the connection.

I guess this isn't really classed as a bug is it, just unexpected
behavior, which is still a valid config. Not too sure how to 'fix'
this one.
