One other thing...CIPE can also be easily used through/behind a firewall

People,

The cursory searching I have done on this topic has come up with little of value. At least, any potential solutions that I've seen seem rather convoluted - and I don't want to be a crypto expert just to set up a VPN.

What I want is a VPN endpoint, running Linux, that can be connected to with free clients for Windows NT/2000/XP and Mac OS X, and Linux as well obviously.

Freeswan seems the obvious solution, but there is little docco to indicate how I configure it for maximum interoperability. Let alone interop with other free software.

I also thought "isn't IPsec meant to be a standard?" Shouldn't I be able to use that?

What do people recommend for this stuff? I'm operating a bit in the dark ... having only used CheckPoint at work.

Rgz,

Luke.
