tunnel

I have installed OpenVPN server on Archlinux and am now using OpenVPN GUI on Windows 7, I can talk to other computers connected through the VPN but I have not yet figured out how to route all traffic through the tunnel.

How do I do this? I figured I need to do it with route ( cmd command ) but I think i need some pointers here.

I've followed the OpenVPN HowTo on the matter but that doesn't work, it simply doesn't push the "force the client to go through this gateway"-option.

And changing from OpenVPN to a PPTP / IPSec alternative is not an option at the moment.
