I checked and for some reason the VPN does not allocate a Gateway... could that be the issue? On my iPhone I can browse through the VPN with no problem.

If not, then it could be a problem with your client computer or network. @Fen Virtual private server's usually have many things disabled that are required for pptp, which is why others have had problems with VPSs too. Anyway, I am glad you found this tutorial useful. :) @Justin

I installed the Poptop on VPS server (CentOS 5) using this guide. It seems that there are always issues on VPS servers. Then I installed poptop on normal CentOS (not using CentOS) and I didn't have any problems. It works like a charm. Thanks, it is great tutorial.
