VPN when the target network is the same as the source network.

As I spend a lot of time working away from home, I VPN into my home lab so that I can play. However for the first time my homelab was on the same network range as the hotel I was in, and so when I vpned in, nothing would route.
To get around this I created an addition entry in the routing table for each server you want to connect to, this will be lost after a reboot.
sudo route add 192.168.31.1 -interface ppp0
ppp0 is the tunnel interface from ifconfig and 192.168.31.1 is the IP of the target you want to connect to.
