www.freeswan.org if you need to interop with the widest variety of other products. I currently have linux freeswan to windows xp, 2000 and cisco routers. Both windows gateways and road warriors work... I'm not sure I'd say setting it up the first time is easy, depends on how much you've worked with vpns before and how familiar you are with key exchange, certificate generation etc... I wasn't so it was hard learning in the beginning, but now that I've got it running, I can set up a vpn under freeswan in about 30 seconds... whereas it takes me countless mouse clicks and bewildering numbers of properties menus under windows and about 15 minutes to setup one end point and I still can't do it without following the step by step screen shots. And there are RPMs of freeswan for most of the latest redhat kernels, so you don't have to build your own kernel if you don't like doing that sort of thing.
Cheers Bill

Hello all,
I'm looking for a linux based VPN, and I'm hoping you all can help. I'd like it a VPN solution that meets the following criteria:
Must work well with Windows Clients (NT, 2000, and XP) Must be easy for users to use(one or two click VPN startup) Currently our PIX based solution fails miserably when two or more clients behind the same NAT try to connect. Effectively when two or more connections appear to come from the same IP address, it blows one of them out of the water.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
