I also saw this in the manual you linked me to:
--redirect-gateway [local] [def1]
(Experimental) Automatically execute routing commands to cause all outgoing IP traffic to be redirected over the VPN.
If that's possible, how to do the opposite to that? Meaning how to only cause certain traffic from certain softwares, e.g. only chrome.exe to be redirected over the VPN?
Let me rephrase my situation in very simple terms:

When you run a VPN client, all your traffic from all software to their respective servers over the internet are rerouted through the VPN. For example, when you run the VPN client, the traffic from chrome or ie is automatically rerouted through the VPN.
Now the problem I'm facing is that.. I have a particular software that must not be rerouted through VPN. Why? It is supposed to be continuously talking to the local network servers, to tell them that I'm logged onto the network, and that I can use the internet service. It's a dormitory network. Now how do I tell the openvpn client to NOT INCLUDE this particular software in the rerouting of traffic?
Oh yea, forgot about Monash. :-P So now it's a friendly competition.
Might need to config your iptables... Definitely cannot run away. This is tough lol.
Try Linux subforum... maybe can get a clue there from the forumers.
