If you can ssh to a server on the Internet then your connectivity is
working. You might want to check if DNS is allowed and working from
the LAN hosts to the Internet.
The fact that 'w' shows your internal IP address is because you're
connecting from the LAN to the gateway, which doesn't trigger the SNAT
because it's not forwarding any packets... only accepting your
connection.
