redirect-gateway doesn't redirect ALL traffic

[Morac]

I set up OpenVPN on my iPad with the "redirect-gateway def1" parameter to redirect all traffic through the VPN. This redirects web traffic since if I go to a web site like http://www.whatismyip.com/ it shows the ip address of the VPN server. It does not however redirect all traffic for apps. For example I have a web camera set up on a port that's not 80, 8080 or 443 and traffic to and from that port is not going over the VPN if I specify the public hostname and port (specifying a LAN address does work).

How can I get ALL traffic to go over the VPN, not just web traffic?

Yes I run OpenVPN on a router with Tomato USB firmware. I currently have it set to not automatically push "redirect-gateway def1" so I can pick and choose on the client side. I've tried changing it though and it makes no difference.

The problem doesn't seem to be on the server side though as it is redirecting traffic sent over the VPN. iOS 7, for whatever reason, is only sending web traffic over the VPN.

I've tried it both ways and neither way works.

I'll mention that adding the redirect to the client does work for web traffic as if I go to whatismyip.com it shows my home IP address when using the redirect configuration and my cell IP address when using a configuration without redirect.
