Hello,
Using Linux or UNIX boxes for VPN is very cost-effective and will
give you high perfomrnace VPN circuits. Just like what Ivan replied below,
you could try that with Debian, or you also may want to take a look at
http://vtun.sourceforge.net. Vtun however only works between UNIX boxes,
it can be Linux on one end, and BSD on the other, or Solaris on the
other.. As long as each end has UNIX systems that can run Vtun. However my
experience with Vtun had been very good in terms of both reliability and
performance.
