Nope. OpenVPN uses its own protocol. It uses SSL/TLS for the crypto, but the management and tunneling protocols are unique to OpenVPN. They're documented, but I don't know of anyone else implementing them, let alone Cisco. However, you can get an IPsec implementation for Linux (called "OpenS/WAN"), so you could run that on the LinkSys or other bitty-box. Performance will be poor, though. The CPUs in those bitty-boxes tend to be pretty underpowered for doing crypto. There are some bitty-boxes with crypto accelerator hardware, but I haven't played with it. Setting up OpenS/WAN was rather complicated, last I used it. OpenVPN is a lot simpler; but it's not a standard protocol. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
