There's also PPTP and what not.
PPTP just works on OpenBSD via npppd. I don't run it in production as it is insecure and obsolete. However I do run L2PT/IPSec server using npppd and IPSec from the base. I also run several OpenVPN servers on OpenBSD and clients work without glitch. I regularly connect to Cisco's AnyConnect SSL VPN to one of our off site locations using net/openconnect from ports (thanks Stuart!). The only time I ever had problems connecting to third party commercial VPN from OpenBSD was connecting to Palo Alto 2020 crapware. OP should do the homework first before insulting developers.
