I second that -- OpenVPN is great. Easy and quick to set up, clients for most OSes (and you can re-use the config files across OSes. that was a nice bonus when the boss wanted his Mac to connect to the VPN). Unless there's another requirement that means you can't use OpenVPN, you should check it out.
