Read my comment again. I am not suggesting openvpn, I am suggesting
openswan; it took over from freeswan.
It supports X509 as well, which freeswan didn't (except with
extensions). The other major change is that it does not create ipsecX
interfaces but uses the existing interfaces, so it may need some changes
to iptables rules - this one caused me some midnight oil burning when I
switched over.

Thanks to those who helped with this, looks like I have to head the
freeswan way, as it does IPSec
I seriously suggest that you go the openswan way as I think freeswan
has stalled.
... where openvpn doesnt (from my
readings) :( (shame.. as it is far easier to setup)...
Thanks again.

OpenVPN is trivially easy to set up. Give it a try.

hmm, but openvpn doesnt support IPSec does it? The server I am
connecting to tells me it's required... ?? :/ Are there any alternatives
out there that you might know of that can handle IPSec?
