I use FreeS/WAN extensively - mostly for point-to-point IPSEC tunnels
(with ESP) over insecure connections. From experience, FreeS/WAN works
well with Checkpoint and 3COM VPN Concentrators (and costs considerably
less). My earlier post had a link for setting up FreeS/WAN for
WinXP/2000 clients with x509 certs.

VNC is not a VPN solution, but instead a tool which enables a user to
remotely control another host machine. VPN implies the ability to tunnel
into another network to establish secure connectivity; or to connect two
or more networks over an insecure network (like the internet).
