If Windows-O/S clients are in your mix, then the shortfall you'll likely hit with an openSSH -w "VPN" is that there isn't a Windows O/S based ssh client with the "-w" feature (that I'm aware of as of this posting), unless you're willing and able to role your own (i.e. compile from source or port) or go a cygwin hybrid route.

Perhaps others here may know of one (or a good way of getting there from here).

So, on that sweat-equity basis, depending on the importance of WIndows clients in your mix, the ssh route may not get you all the way across your goal(s) line.
