Ah, I didn't know that OpenVPN & IPSEC could be used in peer-to-peer configurations. I'll go hunting again.
Recently, when I asked one of my (predominantly Windoze) clients what was the best piece of OS software we'd put in for them, he unhesitatingly replied "OpenVPN".
Once you get the OpenVPN tunnel sorted, connecting via the GUI is trivial.
There was a good guide posted on this very group not long ago: http://hinterlands.org/wiki/index.php/OpenVPNQuickstart courtesy of Martin Brooks, which will help you get a flavour.
We just set up a 3-site OpenVPN tunnelled network, with road warriors to two sites via the GUI, all via shorewall. Plan it right, and it just works...
Cheers, Laurie.
