Personally, I'd just setup an Openvpn server within your site, generate 
keys for each user as needed, open the firewall for the port(s) of your 
choice and finally setup the Openvpn clients on the users' laptops/pcs. 
Once the users connect they proceed as normal. The users  'home' network 
address should be different to the office network address range.

  Lots of docs on the Openvpn site.
