If you're looking for a black-box approach to a firewall device, I would 
highly recommend Smoothwall.  www.smoothwall.org

The GPL version is quite feature laden, and the commercial version 
(weighing in at $117.00 USD after conversion) is fabulous.  VPN support 
(based on FreeSwan) works right out of the box, with a lot of other nice 
items such as automatically generated traffic graphs, clients for most 
of the popular dynamic dns services, isdn, usb modem support, etc.
