You haven't mentioned the user name, let's assume you are working as
"bart". The following settings might work the for you:

(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
             '("\\.vpn\\'" "\\`bart\\'" "/sudo:address@hidden:"))
(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
             '("\\`proxyhost\\'" "\\`root\\'" "/ssh:address@hidden:"))

If you open "/ssh:address@hidden:", the first rule is applied,
opening "/sudo:address@hidden:". And this requires at the beginning, due
to the second rule, opening "/ssh:address@hidden:".
