If you are comfortable with setting up rules along the lines provided by
tools like IPCHAINS on linux then you might try looking at CHX-1.
I don't work for them or have an interest in them except that I've used

From the Client Side, I have found that Cisco's VPN Client is easy to use,
but I have never used the hardware side of the setup.

Some NetGears and Linksys units now have full VPN end point connectivity,
along with Nexland units and Sonicwalls.
They act as the end point requiring no client software on the computers
behind them.
