You grep it out of the current routing table. I have added an example to the
wiki:

http://tinc-vpn.org/examples/redirect-gateway/

There are other ways to do it, but this is fairly simple and robust, I think.

I have no idea either. You can use the netsh command to get and manipulate the
routing table. On Windows, tinc expects tinc-up.bat, hosts/server-up.bat, et
cetera. I have no idea if Style scripts would work. If anyone using Windows has
an idea, please tell us.

Also, if there are BSD or MacOS/X users: many examples on the wiki contain
Linux specific scripts, it would help if these were ported to other platforms
as well.
