The hardware is made for NAT but was thinking about the 615 doing the grunt of the OpenVPN work rather than just passing through the data from another device.

I ran a VPN server on the Raspberry Pi and throughput was terrible because of the strain it put on the Cpu. Putting it on a Synology NAS (with floating point) was better but the CPU was still the limiting factor. Don't expect an old bit of hardware like the 615 to be able to do much better when it comes to running OpenVPN. Pushing data through unaltered is another story though.
