On Linux, I've used FreeSWAN. More commonly, I use OpenBSD's IPsec with isakmpd (KAME). This is usually because I'm going to install a VPN endpoint on a firewall, and the OpenBSD PF firewall code is much simpler to work with. But I do use FreeSWAN on all my Linux clients. Userland, I've heard good things about the OpenVPN project. It supports multiple platforms, but I haven't gotten around to trying it yet. They claim to support NAT-T, so it sounds like a nice alternative. I've also heard that the 2.6 security enhancements will make using IPsec much easier than the current FreeSWAN patch requirements. As far as Windows clients go, I prefer SSH Sentinel. Very easy to setup, nice to administer and track network usage. Unfortunately, they've recently stopped selling it retail and now only offer it through resellers/rebranding. Softnet's Soft-PK is supposed to work nicely on Windows and comply with the open source IPsec implementations, but I haven't tried it yet.
