Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a VPN solution that will run on CentOS. I've used PopTop with success but some clients have problems at hotels and other firewalled locations.
If anyone can suggest something that works well with MS 2000/XP, doesn't require too much tweaking on the client side and is fairly resiliant to various firewall blocking, I'd be interested in hearing about it.

You should take a look at OpenVPN. Runs fine on Windblos - sorry - and linux/bsd too. It has HTTP proxy support built in.

Openvpn runs on windows. You would have to create a simple installer to copy the key and a config file to the right locations on the client, but the user can rightclick on the desktop icon and select "start" (or something like that) to open the connection. It is what I use whether the client side is Linux or Windows. poptop, and pptp in general, are distasteful to me.

I use The Linux PPTP Client on SuSE and Fedora with great success:

I should have said VPN Server solution. :) I will check out OpenVPN.
Thx.

You did say VPN server in your subject.
I will check out OpenVPN.
You will be impressed, I use it for all our VPN needs and it is robust and easy to setup.
