All traffic via StrongVPN/HideMyAss etc.???

Question

Hi,

I am considering getting one of the public VPN services like HideMyAss or StrongVPN - can I use the site-to-site VPN functionality in Astaro and set this up so any internet bound traffic gets routed via the VPN service?

I believe, from initial reading, the SSL vpn wouldn't work for this because I wouldn't have the right type of config file to give my astaro, so I guess it's got to be IPSEC.

If people have done this, perhaps you could tell me which particular providers of VPN service this is tested and working with, and any setup pointers you can provide are obviously appreciated.

Why not to setup a Linux VM in your LAN to act as an internal router? 
 You could install an app from VPN provider on Linux or configure OpenVPN to manage the traffic - then connect to VPN Service Provider. 
 Then you could use Linux as a Gateway on all other systems within the Lan. Or simply change DHCP settings on UTM or other server, to point to Linux VPN internal router. 
 
 Setup: 
 Client -> Linux with VPN -> Sophos UTM - this way traffic from your Client would be encapsulated in VPN connection established by Linux with VPN.
