Get the openvpn package from rpmforge (see http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories). It's dead easy to install if you follow the instructions from http://openvpn.net/. And it has clients for Windows.

Do you have a lot of experience with this VPN solution? Is it rock solid reliable?
Thanks, Nick

openVPN is by far the cleanest, easiest to setup and easiest to use VPN I've seen to date. It can handle LAN to LAN tunnels, client to LAN, client to host, all sorts of combinations, its quite easy to setup the routing, etc etc.
it uses a simple SSL socket as its transport, so its friendly with 'NAT' firewall/routers.
there's a GUI client for windows, you can give that to someone, and give them a config file for it with prebuilt public keys, they install the GUI client, then drop the conf file into the right directory and they are online in seconds.
