IPSec is a protocol, like TCP or UDP. FreeS/WAN is an IPSec service that
runs on linux.
If you want your linux or LRP box to be a VPN gateway (encrypt and route
traffic over a VPN), install and configure FreeS/WAN's IPSec software (the
link you got in the last e-mail).
If you want to run IPSec software on a machine in the internal network
behind your firewall (FreeS/WAN on an internal linux box, PGP-Net or similar
on a windows box), you need to setup VPN masquerading on your firewall, so
the firewall knows how to properly masquerade the IPSec packets between the
internet and your protected network.
You can learn more about FreeS/WAN for linux at their website:
