In a strange turn of events, I found out our data networking group temporarily disabled the firewall restriction. Also, for what its worth if you have this restriction in place you may be able to get yourself added to a group that doesn't require a firewall when logging in. We have one for our Unix admins that use Linux for VPNing in. It all depends on who you know.

I was able to login to VPN and get to an internal website without any problems and without needing to delete any routes. If you want to get to an Internet website, you'll need to setup your proxy.

Here's what my routing table looks like with IPs removed.
