FYI... I've used FreeS/WAN. Relatively simple. Works well,
though the code is kind of a mess. Interoperates with the
OpenBSD IPSec code well... and should do so with the other
free BSD IPSec implementations too since all of their IPSec
implementations are based on the KAME code.
Everything running a Linux kernel supports IPSec via FreeS/WAN.
It is a big kernel patch and some utilities. If not included
by default, D/L the code and go to town on your desired distro.
No big deal. :-)
