Do you actually need the full complexity of a VPN, or would it be enough
to have one-step SSH connectivity so that you can use that sort of rsync
command conveniently?  If SSH would do, then you can put something like
this in ~/.ssh/config:

    Host destination
            ProxyJump intermediary

(You can test this out before putting it in ~/.ssh/config by seeing if
"ssh -J intermediary destination" works.)
