What is the program of choice for running a VPN server?

Openvpn is available as an ebuild, but I haven't tried it. I use vpnd, which works.

Is there any chance you might be able to give me a some directions on how to set up my gentoo box to be a vpn server for winxp clients? I'm lost on how to get it to work.

I have Samba working properly internally on the network if that helps...

can anyone point me to some good documentation on how VPN works under win/linux and if/how samba fits into it? even just a good explanation will do, no need to post a link, unless you want to.

Though it's a bit of a project to setup/use, you may want to consider freeswan.

I use freeswan and love it. I agree it has a steep learning curve at first, but the road to enlightenment is a steep one. :wink:
