Hi,
I'm just curious about setting up a new VPN here in the office part of our enterprise, as well as a second in our 75+ node data center co-location facility.
Needing to stomp out the ****dows L2TP node here, just too many side-issues with config.
I'd like it to run the same OS as all of our servers, e.g. Centos 4.3.
Any recommedations on which software/server/client rpm's/targ.gz's to run?
Any pointers at existing of wiki-able HOWTO's under Centos I can check out?
As usual, if it's not been documented yet, i'd sincerely contribute what I can to the process of rendering a complete document for the future use of the community.

No doubt about it - OpenVPN is the way to go. Active support list, (reasonably) easy setup and config. Cross-platform support. Once set up, it "just works". I've been using it for years without issues.
Just go to OpenVPN and get the download.

I second Ben's every word, OpenVPN is a terrific piece of software. By the way, has anyone been able to join a Windows XP client to a SERVER-BRIDGE OpenVPN Centos server?
got to love mailman's list archives, -I googled further and found a thread about this on our very own list (using a slightly different google search string than the one I used prior to posting)
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-February/060674.html
the cool part was this link discussing in-detail how to roll this out in the enterprise:

-thanks alot for all of the recommendations, i'll be posting a HOWTO once I have deployed this under Centos, since the doc discussed FC2, kinda old. : )
