I've always seen this as (YA) flaw in Windows. Bridging seems to be the 
lazy man's way of avoiding configuring Windows networking properly 
(admittedly, this is not a simple task), especially with OpenVPN. 
Bridging should be left to switches, they're the professionals!

OpenVPN has an option to do just this, "redirect-gateway", that will 
push (almost) all the traffic out through the tunnel. Works the same 
with any supported OS
