Keith,
You may have a look on openvpn as a solution. It is quite easy to set up if
you follow guidelines on their webpage and has a simple gui client that
allows to connect and disconnect the vpn so you have to write the config
files yourself, your users does not have to have any knowledge on how to run
this tool.
