No Internet access on VPN?

I configured a VPN server and was able to connect on via 3G on my phone.
However there's no external internet connection, any ideas?

did you open the vpn related ports in your firewall/router?

1 - Make sure you're mapped into an IP range that's in the same subnet as your remote network
2 - Make sure you don't collide with any DHCP-assigned IP addresses in that subnet - make sure you map into an IP address that's outside the DHCP assignment range
3 - In OSX Server VPN settings, have you set the client DNS to be your local gateway?
4 - Make sure your current local subnet and remote subnet aren't the same, i.e. if you're in network A and trying to VPN to network B, A and B can't have the same subnet mask
5 - Engineer's solution - turn VPN service off and on again...
