Ah, glad to see someone utilizing ssh! (OpenSSH no doubt.)
The microsoft vpn is really not secure but gives a false sense of security.
You are clearly putting ssh to use well!
In a book I have on VPN (Building Linux VPNs) the authors says if you for some

There's no coincident OpenSSH is made by the OpenBSD people. Solid product!
