Hi there,

I've recently installed FreeSwan. Its pretty easy to install and configure, and the docs on the free swan site are 
good.

Hello,

I'm starting to install my first VPN over debian. I've been
investigating L2TP/IPSec, and it seems to be a bit complex... many
possibilities and not much how-to (step by step help). PPTP too
insecure...

With your experience: whats the best (pretty secure, pretty easy, pretty
documented) VPN software for Debian? Send links, comments, anything is
usefull...

Thanks very much

Rolando Ruiz
