I think I understand what you are trying to do. I do not understand what
these interface are for:

F0/0.2 ? 195.26.26.26/248 (Direct VPN access external clients)
F0/0.3 ? 195.23.23.23/248 (Direct VPN access extranet)

I take it that F0/0.2 is when your external (via the Internet) clients
connect to your VPN box. Right? What is the other for? Is it for
site-to-site VPN?
