[OPLINTECH] Linux Firewall/VPN

[Chad Neeper (list)]

I use IPCop (www.ipcop.org) as a free open source firewall and 
site-to-site IPSEC vpn. The current version of IPCOP has an OpenVPN 
plugin to give robust client-to-server VPN capabilities in addition to 
the "built-in" IPSEC VPN. It looks like the next major version of IPCop 
will incorporate OpenVPN directly into the main project. The project is 
very well supported by its community.

It sounds like Ed might have the best suggestion for you, though, if 
you're not looking to replace your existing firewall solution.
