VPN Server

[Tony Zafiropoulos]

Have successfully installed freeswan...

http://www.freeswan.org/

You do not have to compile your own kernels...

Use: http://rpms.steamballoon.com/freeswan/

I have installed RH7.3 then the steamballoon rpms and freeswan now just
needs to be configured (reduces the time spent learning the compiling)
