Thanks Again to everybody for their help. I will still be using Bering/Shorewall for my home firewall because I don't need everything that GallantWeb has. I guess that will give me time to try and get the VPN working on Bering. :)

i have a rc3 with bering, i have multiple ipsec (vpn) tunnels running
from other bering rc3 boxes,
I also use netscreen-remote vpn client software, between remote clients
and the network.
i had to use shared secret, between netscreen and bering, i didn't get
x509 keysd to work,
ergo the client needed a real ip address and could not be behind a nat
router.
I suspect i could make it work with keys if i had the time to
experiment.
but yes bering will do vpn very nicely.
i used the docs from "bering user guide".
+ regular ipsec docs.
