I have a site to site VPN from my main office to a sub office.
Everything works in that every controller can see every player etc.

Here you mustn't underestimate that there is a control issue which means
that either the player needs built in control (touch screen) or there
need to be other control devices also on the remote network.

These are the start points I have looked at

OpenWRT on a Raspberry Pi - it has easily installable modules for the
VPN and also a Squeezelite player but not the Touch Screen. Debian
based.
PiCorePlayer - has everything except the VPN client built in and ready
to go. TinyCore Linux
max2play - also has everything except the VPN client. Debian ?
dietpi - Debian again. Unsure at this stage whether it has an openVPN
client - it probablt does. All componenets except Touch Screen. This is
a newcomer to my thinking.

If the iPhone with openVPN is considered adequate as a controller then
the easiest to get going would be OpenWRT as it has the complete player
package and VPN available.

However if either of pCp or max2play had the VPN added then they would
be better options and I have realised that you wouldn't need a Touch
Screen at all as long as you had a browser etc to control. Just install
the full LMS option with local player create an empty Library but also
enable the "Remote Music Labraries" support. Unless I am mistaken that
will work with any local controller and no additional VPN will be
needed.
