Yes, as long as the VPN is compatible to OPNsense: OpenVPN, Wireguard, IPSec

Some provider give you a tutorial to set it up on OPNsense.

You can direct specific traffic by Policy based routing to the remote VPN endpoint. See https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/firewall.html#policy-based-routing

For avoiding DNS leaks, it's best practice to redirect the whole DNS traffic from the concerned clients over the VPN to a public server. You can use the providers DNS, if applicable.
