If you're looking to put your home network on the VPN, you might get a router that supports dd-wrt and install a version that handles VPN. This might be easier than running the client on each workstation.
I don't know how compatible dd-wrt's VPN options are with other VPN setups, but I've been very happy with everything else that I've done with it. It might be worth looking into. If anybody on the list can say one way or the other, please let me know. On Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 12:11 PM, Evan Brown<nog...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am going to have to concur about the OpenVPN setup.
