I am considering the same, and I am wondering about CIPE.  RedHat and
others package CIPE and include a GUI Wizard to set it up.  Very tidy.

I understand openvpn works over a ssh tunnel.  If this is true, then I
understand that are issues with doing this - it is not a good thing to
do.

ipsec would be the best, and with full opportunism, probably the easiest
to maintain.  ipsec is difficult for newbies, as I can assure you.

CIPE is probably the next best, followed by openvpn, on the assumption
that openvpn runs over an ssh tunnel.


Hopefully others may shed light, as I could do with some guidance also.
