While I agree that it is attractive to use a Raspberry Pi because of its availability
and the capability to also host some applications on the same device aside from
doing the routing, in my experience it is much easier to use a dedicated router
like the MikroTik hEX (RB750Gr3) available for about the same price, but having
5 ethernet ports and all software required for VPN and routing pre-installed and
much easier to configure and maintain than a Raspberry Pi.
Of course there always are multiple options. And Raspberry Pi should be one of them.

I agree strongly with N8EI's suggestion 3 to base
the "Get on Net44"
appliance on a Raspberry Pi. It's ubiquitous, capable, and
well-understood. Please scale it down as much as possible so that it
runs on a RPi 3 (so that there's at least one Ethernet port).
Please (for those of us mortals who don't routinely compile Linux
kernels), make the "appliance" available as an ISO image so that it
can be downloaded to an SD card and just stuck into the RPi and
booted. Then have a one pager (or even better, a small script) that
lets you "fill in the blanks" like callsign, VPN that you're trying to
connect to, etc.
