What is the VPN connecting?  I mean, what is defined as the "local" network and 
what is defined as the "remote" network, for which traffic will pass through the 
VPN?

This sounds like you are trying to send almost everything over the VPN.

Why?  What is the purpose of this VPN?

Please define "local", in terms of which IP addresses you think are local, and 
how this compares to the VPN configuration.

So, are these addresses RFC1918 "private" addresses, or are they simply public 
IPs which happen to exist in your local network?

Give us some examples of addresses which are being incorrectly routed, and 
tell us how your VPN is set up, and we can give you some advice as to whether 
this is a Squid problem or a VPN / network routing problem.
