Is your intent to force all traffic via the tunnel? If so, your site is 
probably correct. If you only plan to send traffic to specific networks

Are you able to test this using a ethernet adapter? To be honest, I 
haven't done much testing with wireless adapters on Linux. I assume it 
shouldn't matter much if its a LAN or WLAN connection.
