IPSec is going to be included in FC2? Cool...

CIPE is OK. OpenVPN is like CIPE on steroids. I use it
extensively and love it. It's very easy to configure,
can use either static keys or x.509 certificates. It
uses OpenSSL as it's encryption layer so it's very fast.
Plus it works on all linux & unix type OS's, including
Mac OSX, AND Windows (back to Win98). It plays very well
with NAT and any other type of packet header mangling.
