Hi, 
        Actually what I do is to connect from the office to my personnal LAN 
using the VPN. Im the only user and im connecting from a secured environnement 
(corporate LAN) and a hardenned laptop.
All I wanted to do is to use the local (corporate) gateway to get to the 
internet instead of using my personnal connection.

So in this case, no it doesn't jeopardize the security.

If you do what you are suggesting, aren't you establishing a dual tunnel?

Doesn't this then create a hacker route around the corporate firewalls
that are in place to protect you?
