It will ensure that packets going to 192.168.1.8 go through the VPN -- 
but that's not all that's needed.

The system at 192.168.1.8, even if it receives the packets, needs to 
have a route telling it to send them back by way of the VPN server -- 
and the VPN server must agree to forward packets in both directions 
(which firewall rules may disallow).
