No he wouldn't, he's already connected to you through your
vr0 interface network range: 195.58.183.77 netmask 255.255.255.248
or is he? Why are you trying to use a gateway of a non directly
connected network? What are you trying to do? Is your ISP
running any Interior gateway protocols that you can take advantage of?

I would like to see that.
Mr. Smith is correct. Why not set your gateway as the next-hop
address to your ISP upstream within the 195.58.183.77 network?
Another option would to run an IP tunnel between your network and
the gateway using gif or nos-tun.
The whole question is, What are you trying to accomplish?
