I have an application which needs to authenticate via an online server, and it must use a static IP to do it.

The only thing that worries me to start with is that I'm going into the VPN and out again; normally when I use a VPN it's to connect to a network, not use it as a gateway.

Set the VPN network to be the default gateway so all your Internet bound traffic goes down the VPN and out the other end. Hope this helps! Tim.
