Probably the easiest VPN to set up, but not terribly secure, is VTun.
If you use (horrors) PPTP, then windows already has a client for it. .. openVPN also has a nice Windows client that can be run as a service at startup or called on demand. .. openVPN supports multiple tunnels (one per .cfg file) and can allow/disallow client-to-client traffic (something you'd probably want to do) ... so that if you have several companies connecting as clients to your server (traffic redirector) then they wouldn't be able to travel back down the VPN to a different client.
... in terms of implementation. e-box has one of the easiest OpenVPN setups. it provides a self-extracting installer file to windows clients that includes the configs and the client application. Linux folk should be able to figure out where stuff goes. (/etc/openvpn /usr/local/etc/openvpn)
Unfortunately I can't download & install OpenVPN on that box, so this won't be an option.
Thanx for all the suggestions though.
