I would suggest something like the following list: Commercial: Aventail (really an "ExtraNet" product - encrypted SOCKS5 gateway) Cisco 3000 (?) Nortel Contivity in Legacy mode. Freeware: SSH tunnels stunnel vpnd | vpntund | -> go to freshmeat.com & search for VPN! Just about anything that can encapsulate packets can be turned into a VPN product/system. It does depend on what functionality you require. i.e. do you need - encryption? - do you need key negotiation? - do you need "Road-Warrior" capability (unknown end-points)? Is it: - gateway to gateway (i.e. joining networks) - host to host - host to gateway ? In fact, the majority of VPN products which were available more that 9 months ago are non-IPSec VPN products. As a collegue of mine just said: "It's the easiest this to bring up a VPN, IPSec just made it more difficult!"

I'm not sure what you are asking for, it sounds more like you are asking for protocols than apps. Other protocols than IPSEC would be PPTP (point to point tunneling protocol) L2F (layer 2 forwarding) L2TP (layer 2 tunneling protocol) NT has PPTP built in. Win/2K has ipsec and pptp built in. Lots of Linux and BSD based products, many open source projects out there. With a little work you can have a great free solution. There are many comercial black boxes based off of Linux/BSD and an open source product.

Hi, I'm scouting around for non-IPsec VPN products, commercial or freeware. I know of just one: Aventail, which is SOCKS-based. Surely there will be others? TIA.
