Openswan is good to keep around, just in case you need to talk to IPSec devices. But it's a pain in the butt; it's NAT-unfriendly, free and good Windows clients are lacking, interoperability is problematic, etc. I said, to hell with it, i installed OpenVPN and It Simply Works. It is easy to setup (both server and clients), it does not care about NAT, the Windows client is not a problem (it's the same software as the server), interoperability is a breeze... -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
