VPN on Linux using Freeswan works nicely. I have several remote sites, all with dynamic IPs connecting to the main server site. I also run key brokering and dynamic DNS at the server site.
If one of the remote sites changes IP (with Hel$tra ADSL that is not an unknown event) then I have got the site to gracefully re-establish the VPN with the new IP. One caveat. I cannot get the current release of Freeswan (1.91) to compile with any kernel greater than 2.4.8 If you need consultancy work on this then pse contact me OL.
