I can't really understand what I might be getting into, but this sounds interesting, so I was wondering if anyone had any experience or warnings regarding OpenVPN? I hate to get into something and then have to waste a lot of time firefighting.
http://verusnova.com/blog/index.php/2006/03/30/openvpn-provides-solid-security-and-many-features-for-free/ The fact that it works across multiple platforms sounds nice (depending on how true it is). "OpenVPN is a cross-platform solution that runs on Linux, Windows 2000/XP and higher, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris." But I'm not sure what they are really talking about here and whether it would be a problem for me? "Note that OpenVPN is an SSL VPN and as such is not compatible with IPSec, L2TP, or PPTP. The main advantage of SSL VPNs is that they exchange the complexity of IPsec for the simple, well tested SSL/TLS structure for their cryptographic layer." Frankly, I never heard of IPSec, L2TP or PPTP before... But there are many things I never heard of before... Maybe I don't need them? Any comments?
