If you're looking for a VPN solution, by all means look at FreeS/WAN (or its likely successor, OpenSWAN). Just forget about OE. OE isn't about the type of security you're looking for in a VPN. > If I understand this solution right there is no authentication at all. With OE that may be true. For a VPN you shouldn't configure OE, but use one of the authentication methods in IPSec, like RSA digital signatures, or a shared secret. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPSEC provides a nice overview of IPSec.
