I've looked into this very little - to the point where I did setup a VPN server on FreeBSD however according to what I have read on the internet, the latest/newest/best release of PPP is not compatible with BSD (yet). This latest version of PPP offers support for Windows machines to use their method of encryption, and is not supported in earlier releases of PPP. While I was able to connect to the VPN server without encryption, I was not able to do so with encryption. I'm wondering what you others have run into, and what packages work best for your customers. I realize that many ISP's are now buying these awfully expensive pieces of equipment designed to run VPN and only VPN ... to save the company some money, any alternatives to these appliances? Thanks.
