VPN Solutions

[jackadaniel at gmail.com (Jack Daniel)]

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".
