OpnSense as a VPN gateway for internal hosts?

[Chiefmas]

I've recently been thinking about setting up something to act as a VPN gateway for specific hosts in my network, and wondered if this is something that OpnSense would be good for, vs rolling my own setup on Linux.

My concerns are mostly that the OpnSense install wouldn't be my network edge, and if that would be an issue. I would run it on an old appliance I have, I assume give it a static address in my current network, and configure it to establish an OpenVPN connection to my provider. I would then want to be able to configure hosts in my network to target the OpnSense device as a gateway, and have it route traffic from them over the VPN connection.

Does that seem like it'd be reasonably straightforward to do under OpnSense?

Thank you!
