Hi

I configured the VPN Server on Windows Server 2008 R2 but now I can't access the VPN from a computer outside the network, that is, I need external access when I'm on the client.

As far as I know I need to create the VPN connection through my company's External IP right? Can anyone help me how to do this?

    Ok, I'm going to release the ports, but what I don't understand is which IP should I put when configuring the VPN, my Internal IP of the server or the external IP? because I'll be out of the company!

    Well the vpn server will need to be accessible with a public address or optionally via NAT and port forwarding. You can find the port info listed here.
