I use it to tunnel ssh from my home dialup to work. Very stable, and with cipe's shared keys, there's nothing too taxing about setting it up. I just have a call to /etc/init.d/ciped restart in my ppp up script. freeswan was another way I looked at , but ip/sec was horrible at the time and didn't (maybe still doesn't) deal with dynamic ip assignment nicely.
