There actually is a Linksys consumer router/firewall that has its own VPN
capabilities, supporting both IPSec and PPTP. It's fairly configurable,
supporting both DES and 3DES for confidentiality and SHA-1 and MD5 for
integrity. It's about $150, or at least it was when I bought mine. I haven't
gotten to use the VPN aspect of it yet, as my work vetoed non-Netscreen
VPN's for tech workers. I'm waiting till OS X 10.2 comes out with native
IPSec support to test it out personally, as my main away from home machine
is an Apple TiBook.

The model number is BEFVP41.
