I've used Astaro for smaller installs. It's more of a UTM. Uses openvpn on linux Was easy to use for the non- techies. Also works with IpSec but I went with the openvpn clients

We currently have a cross site cluster SSL based VPN solution that has reached the end of life, the vendor has told us we’d need to spe nd £25k+ to bring the solution up to scratch & give us a 100 user li cense (we have 500 employees & found that during the current bad wea ther in the UK the 100 users JUST covers us) ... It doesn’t do anyth ing to special:

AD integration.
Authenticate on groups
Security based on groups.
We also carry out a level of host checking (ie: does the host have a virus checker & is the virus DB up to date).

It would also be good if it was cross site (ie: if one site goes down the other site takes the load, we do this currently with DNS & really low TTL’s then remove the dns record of the broken site)

I’d like to replace this with something we can sick time into gettin g right rather than spending the budget on hardware... I’m looking a t openVPN ... Any other suggestions / bright ideas??
