Most VPN software intentionally blocks access to other networks except thost reachable through the VPN for security reasons. This is known as disabling "Split Tunneling". If you can re-enable Split Tunneling, you would be able to access your local network without going through the VPN. Unfortunately, it is usually a setting controlled on the VPN server, and enforced by the binary-only VPN client. -- Charles R.
