If you're thinking about setting up a VPN, then try and set up a terminal server as well. It's pointless to have somebody connect from home, access a shared folder, and then wait a few minutes because they don't know that the 30MB file they double-clicked actually has to be downloaded to their machine, wasting cap and time for both them and the company. Rather have them connect via VPN, then remote into the terminal server, where (depending on the amount of licenses) everyone can work on it simultaneously as though it's a desktop machine.

I agree, but why bother with the VPN then?
Stick the jump server in a DMZ if you like and just RDP to it, it is encrypted enough for this setup I think.
