However, it seems just as cryptic. Are there any good references about how to setup IPSec in general that anyone is aware of? (My problem in this case is that I need to generate a X.509 certificate to get anywhere, which I suspect they make easy with some extremely expensive piece of software. I know OpenSSL can generate them, but importing doesn't seem to be an option.)
