One LAN Router must be the "boss". Pick one that is central to the LAN. The
Clients use it, and *only* it for the Default Gateway. It should *not* be
the
"Router" that shares the Internet to the LAN. You want your Layer3 routing
scheme to function even if you didn't even have the Internet to begin with.
Even if you only have a single subnet LAN and all routers on on the "edge",
you still need to choose one as the primary router and follow the same
pattern I describe.

Think "logically" in a straight line. Don't create a confusing mess by
zig-zagging all over the place (figuratively speaking). All machines use
the primary LAN Router as thier Default Gateway. The LAN Router that is the
Default Gateway of all machines then, in turn, has its Default Gateway
pointing to the Router that leads to the Internet. If your VPN Traffic is
using a site-to-site connection then their needs to be a static route to
that remote subnet listed in the Primary LAN Router that points to the VPN
Router. If it is only a "Remote Access VPN" then you don't need a static
route at because the VPN Client receives an IP from your LAN and "logically"
becomes part of the LAN so there isn't any "routing" involved.
