Subject: CWE VPN
This is M from the CWE-LUG meeting. I have examined the various VPN
options available and I think you would get best results with OpenVPN:

Poptop and OpenSWAN are overall better products (and PPTP is
supported on OS X via the GUI)- however, as I mentioned at dinner,
PPTP requires UDP and ESP. OpenVPN can run off of one TCP (or UDP)
port.
Unfortunately, the software requires kernel device drivers for OS X
which may be flakey:

But I know that OpenVPN works well on Linux. Still, it will be a
hassle to create the firewall rules manually from the vpn network
device through NAT to the private CWE network. Still, I am open to
helping put the software together on your Mac if you still wish to
do so. The experience will be non-trivial and more frustrating than
enlightening...
