Is there something I'm missing in this model?
Yes. Putting the encryption at the network layer rather than the transport layer makes a lot of things very convenient. You can read your mail, browse Intranet sites, etc. remotely just as you would on-site. You don't need any proxies. Everything just works.
OpenVPN is dead-simple to set up; certainly far less headache than IPSec.
