If you want to go to Internet through VPS, you have to set it as default gateway.
Basic scenario: deploying VPN-server on your vps (`openvpn`, for example) and setting on it's configuration to assign default gateway for clients. Also, on VPS you should to allow ip-forwarding for VPN-clients and set SNAT rule to translation VPN-client addresses to public VPS address. You may use PPTP-server (like `poptop`) instead `openvpn`, then you will not need specific VPN-client, but in other hand it provides less security.
Next, on your local gateway (or client machine) with iptables rules you need to allow to connect to your VPS only, except for some others: DNS-servers, etc. When you establish a VPN-connection, all your traffic will go through VPS.
