Too late, Tony. :-) The base z/OS operating system includes IPSec IKEv2
support. Details are available here (z/OS 2.4 link, subject to change):
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.halz002/security_ipsec_vpn.htm
The commercial product SSH Tectia Server for IBM z/OS supports SSH
tunneling.
There are many VPN clients/servers for Linux on Z and LinuxONE. One the
latest and now fashionable ones is called WireGuard. Installation details
are available here:
https://www.wireguard.com/install/
Checking the various Linux distributions for IBM Z and LinuxONE, WireGuard
is at least available for Ubuntu Linux Server and Debian Linux, probably
others too.
