The VPN usually suck when it comes to a performance. Do some basic testing
at the network level - ping with/without VPN, throughput and you'll see
the difference. This is not a problem of the database, it's the
environment.

Yes, the log shows the real thing. Have you checked the log directly or
just the output of pgfounie? Theoretically there could be a bug in
pgfounie, repeating some of the queries, but I consider that highly
unlikely.

Currently there's no such option. But it's possible to write a simple
extension that would do that - actually pg_stat_statements does that.
