No plug for the corporate overlords from me, but Astaro uses OpenVPN for a reason- I think that it's a great project. I was an OpenVPN user for years before becoming a vendor weasel, and it always served me well. They now have a commercial branch of the project, which means you can get support, aka "someone to yell at".

We currently have a cross site cluster SSL based VPN solution that has reached the end of life, the vendor has told us we?d need to spend ?25k+ to bring the solution up to scratch & give us a 100 user license (we have 500 employees & found that during the current bad weather in the UK the 100 users JUST covers us) ... It doesn?t do anything to special: AD integration. Authenticate on groups Security based on groups. We also carry out a level of host checking (ie: does the host have a virus checker & is the virus DB up to date). It would also be good if it was cross site (ie: if one site goes down the other site takes the load, we do this currently with DNS & really low TTL?s then remove the dns record of the broken site) I?d like to replace this with something we can sick time into getting right rather than spending the budget on hardware... I?m looking at openVPN ... Any other suggestions / bright ideas??
