[Openvpn-users] --redirect-gateway - can services on the local network still be accessed?

[Jon B. <jon...@la...>]

 From the man page i read that
"--redirect-gateway ['local']
     (Experimental) Automatically execute routing commands to cause all 
outgoing IP traffic to be redirected over the VPN. Currently 
implemented only on Linux and Windows."

but i am a little confused.

Suppose the laptop being the openvpn client is at home at some worker, 
and that there are no overlaps between the used network addresses.
Suppose that 192.168.0.1 is the local gateway to the internet, but also 
that this worker has a networked printer running at 192.168.0.2.
There is also a stationary pc which shares some drives, that the laptop 
wants to access. This has dhcp and address 192.168.0.100
The laptop uses dhcp and gets 192.168.0.101


But what happens when i turn on --redirect-gateway? Can the drives on 
the local windows pc still be accessed?
Can the local printer still be accessed?

Or is that trafic automaticaly routed accross the VPN?
