Looking for MSP-friendly VPN services

As an MSP, I look to find good services to provide to my clients, that are manageable, and frankly, profitable. I'm seeing clients who have "road warriors", who often connect to the Internet using public wifi, which could leave corporate data exposed. They would benefit from the current breed pf VPN service, that's intended more to protect the endpoints, than to provide remote access to their internal networks. (Hell, so many are using cloud-based storage services, that there's basically no need for them to connect to the internal networks anymore.)

What I don't see, are VPN companies coming to the fore with that sort of offer. They'll offer it for personal use, but not for protecting business mobile devices.

Does anyone know of a VPN company that does?

PIA is excellent for this.

PIA may do a nice job on the VPN side, but there's really nothing that they show on the site to indicate that they're MSP-friendly. And there's no phone number to call to ask about it.
We use OpenVPN a lot. It's 100% solid and just works. I was talking with a break/fix client the other day and their OpenVPN box has 700+ days of up time. Can't really ask for more than that.
Great solution... for a different problem.

Again, I'm not looking for a VPN solution to allow safe remote access into my internal network. I'm looking for a VPN solution of the type that's used to protect computers/mobile devices from bad people on unsecured wireless networks. Yes, the first type will suffice for the second type too. But not if you don't need that.

There are solutions out there, like PIA, and Avira, and others. But they're just sold individually by the vendors themselves, and there's no management of them for an MSP. I'm asking, is there a non-remote-access type VPN service, that I can resell to my clients, as part of an MSP solution?
