You are adding a default route to your LAN.  pppd sees this and refuses to
add a default route to the ppp link, and so your packets get sent to the
LAN.  There is no reason to have a defaulte route to your LAN unless it has
a gateway on it and you must send stuff past the gateway, but then you
probably wouldn't be using ppp.  Comment out the line I quoted above.
