I am
using freeswan(IPSEC) so you will want to visit their web site, but first check
out this website and there are links there for freeswan and the x509 patch - http://www.techwolf.com/RH72freeswan.html
This
is a great howto on recompiling the kernel for ipsec. I installed just
ipsec and am working on the firewall part.
There
is a way to do PPTP but there is not a lot of info out there on that. I am
not certain if you need to recompile the kernel for that - POPTOP.org is what
you're looking for there.
I am
using the SSH Sentinel client you can find one on the www.astaro.com website. Astaro also
has a pretty sweet looking firewall/vpn. You can use it for free for home
use. The Sentinel client is also free for home use.
Also
check out the leaf project if you go the freeswan/ipsec route. They have
good docs on setting up ipsec.conf and ipsec.secrets. The freeswan web
site has many faqs and docs too.
There
are many out there doing ipsec another is Nate Carlson for got his url but I
believe this page has it and more - http://www.strongsec.com/freeswan/
Lots
of reading . . .
If you
go the ipsec way I can send you my configs and give you more info later. I
am bit busy now - I am working on this IPSEC server and need to
get a working firewall on it to pass my ipsec.
Hope
this helps,
Have
fun,
Doug

I am working with 7.3 and IPSEC. You need to recompile the kernel. The
crux for me is adding the firewall.
I have lots of links and info on IPSEC/freeswan and 7.3. Do you want info
on this?
Doug

Last night I configured iptables do a very simple NAT on outgoing
traffic, and turned on ipforwarding. I can't remember the syntax well
enough to reproduce it here...
I was able to connect from Win2k and WinXP laptops to an external Win2k
VPN server through my dial-up connection. I wasn't able to have two
connections open to the same VPN server at the same time.
