Got it. Needed to enable NAT. Damn VNC wasn't showing me the radio buttons for it.

I'm having issues setting up my VPN on my Windows 2008 r2 Standard VPS. The goal is to have a machine on my network be accessible via static IP by a few people. Who need to access to test DayLite server before deploying the Mac Mini in a CoLo.

I followed this tutorial:

My machine can connect to the VPS but it can't get to the internet. It can connect to the VPS and VNC into it using an internal IP.

I think my issue is the last step:
Add secondary IP Address to the Server network interface which is in the same subnet as this pool.

This is how I did that:

Now if you're wondering if this is allowed here is what I have:
1) Network guy at my apt complex said I should be fine doing this as long as he doesn't see any serious spike in usage or anything else funky.
2) I also enquired with my VPS host before signing up.

Now I just got a 2nd IP address for my VPS. One to VPN into and one to connect to the internet with. Hoping that works. If not that was $2 down the drain :\

Thanks for the help.
