Hi Ramesh, When the VPN is established, the originating host will encrypt the packet with a key, and send across the internet via a virtual tunnel. When the destination receive the packet, the VPN box will decrypt the packet with the same key.
If you are connecting to the destination private network, then the default route will not make sense. You should have a static route something like the following : ip route In order for the packet to go through the VPN tunnel. Hope this helps.
