VPN to wireless NAT for vulnerability scanning

I need to be able to scan the network in one of our offices with the Nessus vulnerability scanner. Our Dallas location has a modem and a wireless router using NAT.

It seems to me that a VPN is the best way to do this.

Any suggestions on how to configure OpenVPN for this purpose?

Happy to read materials previously written.

Thanks for any feedback.

yes you can use openvpn for this , in theory, but it's much easier to set up a box in the remote office using either Linux or Windows, connec to that box (e.g. using RDP or SSH) and then run Nessus on that.
