I think the other main contender for VPN software in Fedora Core would
be Openswan. OpenVPN is portable, comfortable (being in userspace),
flexible, and easy, but Openswan implements IPsec which is (mostly)
standardized across vendors, and that's certainly a strong selling
point, in spite of its complexity.
Openswan is good to keep around, just in case you need to talk to IPSec
devices. But it's a pain in the butt; it's NAT-unfriendly, free and good
Windows clients are lacking, interoperability is problematic, etc.
I said, to hell with it, i installed OpenVPN and It Simply Works. It is
easy to setup (both server and clients), it does not care about NAT, the
Windows client is not a problem (it's the same software as the server),
interoperability is a breeze...
