Bypass VPN For Internet. Use VPN for Remote Subnet Only???

How do you set SoftEther to ONLY direct internet via local gateway, and NOT the remote VPN gateway?

I.e. IF Destination != Remote VPN Server Subnet, THEN Use Local Default Gateway...

If request = 192.168.1.xxx OR 10.8.0.xxxx THEN use VPN
ELSE
e.g. = 192.168.20.x and everything else...
use Local Gateway....

CURRENT CONFIGURATION:

REMOTE ROUTER: 192.168.1.1
- DNS: 192.168.1.50,
- WINS: 192.168.1.50

REMOTE SERVER 2016: 192.168.1.50 LAN & 10.8.0.0 VPN
- DNS: 192.168.1.50, 192.168.1.1, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, zz.zz.zz.zz (3rd party)
- WINS: 192.168.1.50
- No Domain Set-up. Flat File-Server Scenario.

LOCAL PC / VPN CLINET Win8: DHCP Enabled (10.8.0.xx IP Received)
IP Traffic OK (ping/tracert).
Remote Resolution: FAILS

SOFTETHER SETTINGS:
Allow 8 connections.
Tried with Bridged / Router setting on right-hand-side on/off... No difference.
SSTP or L2TP same result.
VPN Azure DDNS Okay.
Local DNS Queries FAIL!
External Internet DNS Queries SUCCESS! Slow as via VPN!
HOSTS File Empty / Standard.

Remote VPN Server Office: 10Mbit / 10Mbit Internet Service
Local VPN Client: 20Mbit / 1Mbit Internet Service

There is a setting in the advanced page of the Softether client to not make changes to the routing table. I would also suggest increasing the metric of the VPN adapter (I put mine to 1000) so that the client will only use that route for VPN subnet traffic.
