This might do it, although it seems to have far too much functionality: http://www.ebox-platform.com
It supports OpenVPN, which will do all you want and more.
Looks useful to play with for other things, thanks, even if OTT for this.
I thought that...
I was thinking about some of the embedded Linux devices, Tonido Plug, Guru Server, etc, although I'm not sure they'll do what I need (or if they will, then how to do it).
Well, MiniITX is a good area to look for tiny boxes (a fanless box the size of a paperback, with Solid State drives, for instance), and maybe this installed: http://www.pfsense.com
It doesn't support OpenVPN (but apparently will when V2 comes out "some time this year", it uses IPSEC only right now.
There's a company selling MiniITX stuff here in Suffolk. I've used them, and they're very good. The site http://www.mini-itx.com is a good source for seeing what's out there and what's coming up, and the (Linux-friendly) local guys can be found at http://linitx.com. They even sell boxes that look as if they might do what you want (http://linitx.com/viewcategory.php?catid=79). They do assume, though, that you know what you want, which is where the first site comes in, if you're a noob in MiniITX.
Cheers, Laurie.
