Warning - ~I~ haven't tried this but if I was going to suggest
something to try to one of my regular end-users (someone w/o their own
sysadmin skillset) I'd start by trying to combine one of the
following:

Hands Off - http://www.metakine.com/products/handsoff/
Little Snitch - http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html

With your VPN application or Viscosity (http://www.sparklabs.com/viscosity/)...

And use the tools to allow only the VPN app / manager and child
processes it launches to make connections.

Again - that would be something I'd try if I didn't sysadmin the box
myself and was trying to help a regular end-user out. Cheers, -Ali
