I would also agree that OpenVPN is nice and fairly simple to set up...
I use it and enjoy it.
The only problem I could point out about OpenVPN, is that it cannot
interact with other VPNS
- I.E. OpenSwan or Other Hardware/Software solutions running ipsec.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

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.

Can you better define your set up?
If you want to connect from a Windows road warrior which may or may
not
be behind a NAT, OpenVPN can hardly be beat in ease of use, robustness
etc. It runs fine as a service or on demand, has optionally a nice
GUI
and I had no issues with packet length etc.
If the Windows machine is not behind a NAT and is directly connected
to
the Internet Greenbow is really a fine product.

Hi gang,
I'm looking for peoples' experiences and advice for setting up a
VPN
between OpenBSD (I will be using 4.0) and Windows XP/2000 systems.
I
have tested the Greenbow client and it seems ok. What of the
built-in
VPN client for the Windows OS? I am mostly interested in ease of
configuration and reliability of the tunnel. I am ok on IPSEC
theory.
Thanks in advance for any comments,
Peter
