Greetings,

I have always found Dru's articles to be very helpful. Here are a few
about IPSec.

As far as connecting to it from your Mac, considering these show how to
setup IPSec/Raccoon, and I don't believe the programs that come with OSX
don't easily allow the connection. But there is a program by a third party
that allows easy setup of raccoon.

Hope this helps, and good luck.

Cheers,
