VPN client works on my laptop and desktop and both are running Windows 8.1 Enterprise.
How is your SSL VPN setup? What do you have added for the Local Networks? I know where I work one of my co-workers just created a network object for 10.0.0.0/8 and that broadcasted that route when you VPN'd in. Well, that wasn't a good idea so I created objects for each network and then created a Network Group and added that to the Local Networks.
Once that was added, you could see all the correct routes when doing a route print.
