About the direct to redirect (huh?) internet traffic thing. If you're an
employee in, say, a bank, the admins want to see all the traffic going
out and coming in to your computer. To do this  the default outgoing
route (Internet) has to be through the VPN link, then to the VPN
server's default route, and then back to you. This is secure but it
makes casual browsing a bit expensive.

If you don't force the default route to go through the VPN link, you'll
have one route for 10.8.x.x, and a default route pointing to the router
on the hotspot you're on. Browsing will be faster but the hotspot router
will know what you've done (besides hitting your VPN server.)

Basically, if you don't know the purpose of redirecting the default
route through the VPN, there is little chance you really need it.
