Internal VPN Connections

I am looking for advise / thoughts on if I should plug the internal
side of my VPN device into my core network or not?

I am reading that I should be doing VPN quarentining (to ensure there
is AV installed on the machine etc). But is there a risk plugging into
the core switch with all my servers, or should I plug into a seperate
network?

                                      Other workstations

Am I more vulnerable doing this?
