We use OpenVPN. It's been maintenance-free once we got it working. Pros: Secure; stable; "free"; Open Source; good logging; cross-platform (native Windows/Mac/*nix; third-party Android, Java, maybe others); performance is fine on modern hardware; anyone with enough clue can support it. Cons: Need to bring your own hardware; no point-and-drool GUI; requires knowledge of PKI to get it configured (and X.509 PKI can be quite hairy); some organizations are allergic to Open Source; support is less structured since it's anyone's game. As is common these days, a commercial entity has formed to provide a "retail packaged" version with more management and paid support "from the source"; no idea how good/bad that might be. http://openvpn.net/ -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
