I guess it's the way of the future. Kaspersky and other anti-virus CDs for Windows are Linux, as are Windows passwd resetters. Looks like beefy hardware, if the number of ports is any indication. They have 24 ports = 12 circuits of (presumably) 100MBps = 300M 32bitwords/sec. When I was looking at OpenVPN and gave up after reading a few dozen pages of the user manual, without getting anywhere along the way to configure it, I found that the version for windows was easy to configure. My son, who needed the VPN, went with Hamachi, which required even less configuring. Presumably endian has written the configure scripts (or used Leon's) and written a nice webpage. > The VPN component of this is build on OpenVPN.
