Traceroute from the gateway admin desktop to external sites, NOTHING.

It sounds to me like your VPN users' default gateway is missing a
route to the outside world.

Compare traceroutes of VPN-Client > External  and  Internal-Client > External
- this should give you some idea of which route is missing.

It may also be that your firewall does not recognise the VPN subnet as
being an internal network.

For example - if your usually internal network consists of:
10.50.10.0/24 and 10.50.11.0/24, you probably have a rule on the
firewall which looks like:

From: 10.50.10.0/24 OR 10.50.11.0/24
To: EXTERNAL
Protocol: http,https,icmp,ftp,ssh,nntp,pop3
Action: PERMIT

If your VPN network is using something else (eg 192.168.10.0/24 or
10.50.12.0/24), then that rule won't be applied and the traffic will
not be permitted.
