Hi,
Actually what I do is to connect from the office to my personnal LAN using the VPN. Im the only user and im connecting from a secured environnement (corporate LAN) and a hardenned laptop.
All I wanted to do is to use the local (corporate) gateway to get to the internet instead of using my personnal connection.

So in this case, no it doesn't jeopardize the security.
