Previous job used F5 ssl, access was through the web browser with RDP to the
desktops, but that was only for IT staff on call.  Email was also accessed
via it for the office users, it was wrapped around the Notes email client.
No direct access to the LAN but it had the capability to do it.

At home I use Untangle, it has OpenVPN built in and also has a portal
available but that's a chargeable extra. www.Untangle.com
