Can't set route for VPN

Hi, I got the following issue. I connected to VPN server and got the following routes table:

===========================================================================
Active Routes:
Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.231.2 192.168.231.128 10

255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.231.128 192.168.231.128 1
Default Gateway: 192.168.231.2
===========================================================================

With bold I emphasized the routes appeared after VPN connection's establishing. Now I need to redirect all traffic to the VPN connection I do it via the following commands:

route delete 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.231.2
route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 10.9.3.98 metric 8


As a result I get the following table:

But I can't even PING any site or PC. How can I resolve this issue?

Welcome to the forum from a cmd prompt type

Tracert 194.119.131.66

Post results that will show were it's actually going. What is your DNS set to it shouldn't be local router

Connected to the VPN again, got this route table:

What is the ip for vpn are you running a VPN concentrator

Do you mean ip for VPN server?

vpn ip if your not using concentrator

Still not getting what you mean under "vpn ip" and concentrator. I use an OVPN file and have no idea what is on VPN server side (VPN server name is vpn201606280.opengw.net).
