No internet access when connected to VPN

I'm running Arch Linux and using this AUR package, which is the latest version (4.0.2333) of FortiClient available for Arch Linux.

I'm able to connect to my company's SSL VPN and access the company's resources, but when I try to access the internet (e.g ping google.com) the requests stay hanging.

I know I'm using an old version but unfortunately this is my only option since the current FortiClient version is only available to Ubuntu, CentOS, Red Hat, and Fedora.

Here's my routing table (ip route) before I connect:

default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlp4s0 proto dhcp metric 600 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlp4s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.76 metric 600

Here it is after I connect:

default via 10.212.134.203 dev ppp0 scope link default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlp4s0 proto dhcp metric 600 10.10.8.0/22 via 10.212.134.203 dev ppp0 scope link <VPN_SERVER_IP> via 192.168.1.1 dev wlp4s0 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlp4s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.76 metric 600 192.168.20.0/24 via 10.212.134.203 dev ppp0 scope link 192.168.150.0/24 via 10.212.134.203 dev ppp0 scope link 192.168.151.0/24 via 10.212.134.203 dev ppp0 scope link 192.168.152.0/23 via 10.212.134.203 dev ppp0 scope link 192.168.156.0/22 via 10.212.134.203 dev ppp0 scope link

(<VPN_SERVER_IP> is the IP address I connect to)
