200 network will solve the problem, but I am hesitant on having users jump
into their routers. Is there anything I can do on my end aside from
completely changing the companies internal IP's scheme to allow VPN users to
connect?

If you don't want to change the company IP range, your option is to setup

range or subnet for peer to peer VPN. For example, in your case, you can use

No. Using the default range at work was a dumb idea. Don't compound the
mistake. Just move it and be done with it.
