Most VPN problems are decided before the tunnel is configured: the path MTU, how the NAT in the middle behaves, which ports actually cross, and how long a quiet mapping survives. Skip that and you get a tunnel that comes up in the lab and drops every four minutes in production.
I measure the path first — MTU in both directions, NAT mapping behaviour, which ports and protocols get through, idle-mapping lifetime, loss and jitter at tunnel-sized packets — then build the tunnel around what's actually there. IPsec, WireGuard or OpenVPN.
Deliverables

Tunnels built and verified, up to 4 sites
Routing and DNS working from inside the tunnel as well as outside
