[TriLUG] OpenVPN and IP routing

I've been working on configuring OpenVPN server on my Ubuntu desktop at
work and the client on my laptop. SSH -D isn't doing it for me and the
NC State VPN pushes split tunnels, which doesn't protect me while using
unsecured networks (like the NC State wireless).

So, I can connect the client just fine and get an IP address from the
server.  I can ping the VPN server through the VPN tunnel at 10.8.0.1.
Here is the routing table after connection.

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
zilch.lib. *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 eth0
10.8.0.0        *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 tun0
152.1.191.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     1      0        0 eth0
default         ithub-6509-vl12 0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

zilch.ncsu.edu is the hostname of the VPN server.
10.8.0.0 is the VPN network
152.1.0.0 is the network zilch is on.

So, it seems like I need to add a default route for all traffic to be
routed onto the 10.8.0.0/tun0 tunnel and to delete the default/ithub
route.  The documentation is confusing me.

Can anyone provide some advice?

Thanks,
Jim
