A good VPN does this on purpose - adding ip addresses to what is on the corporate network is a very bad thing from a security standpoint. If you can do that, your admin guys should probably block you. Yes, you like your local printer, but is it secure like the one at work? And how about the fileserver under your desk? Is it also regularly scanned and thought to be secure just makes a mockery of the corporate security. Just don't.
I work totally decentral, in fact I have three offices, which are officially recognized by my employer as designated offices. Those network printers are located in these offices, so I would like to use the local network printers in my official offices.
Now, the VPN-Servers are located in a different city. There is only one service, for what I need VPN. I could disable the connection, of course, but that is annoying. I still suffer from previous experiences, when we only had CheckPoint client ONLY FOR WINDOWS...
Concerning the fileserver under my desk: there is none. There is a LUKS partitioned disk ON my desk, used by rsync twice a day for backups.
