I am no expert, just a user: my employer uses Cisco VPN for remote access. Last I knew Cisco had VPN clients available for Windows and for (some version of) Linux.

I have no idea how the Cisco end is set up, but have gotten the impression that it may involve some sort of Cisco proprietary extensions to IPSEC.home | help
