I do use both so I realise that OpenVPN is easy, but ipsec.conf is just as easy (easier, in the case of public-key) and doesn't need you to touch anything out of base OS. If it were the case on other OS, there would be little need for OpenVPN... > OpenVPN also can help get around some restrictive firewalls by letting > you pick the UDP or TCP port you wish to run it on. Unless I'm mistaken, see isakmpd(8), option -N.
