Answer : Problem: VPN without the static or PUBLIC  IP

Hey,

the 192.168.x.x ip range is reserved for private networks.
It can be used inside a network for identification of different servers, which are outside the network only known as one IP.
This technique is named NAT (Network Address Translation).

So you won't reach your server with this adress being outside the network. What you need is the public IP from your companies proxy (and the right to access it).
