My home router is a Draytek Vigor 2820n which has VPN capability itself. So I decided to try it.
Why?

OpenVPN just works. If I recall correctly, the Draytek VPNs are IPsec, and
No, the Draytek has PPTP capability as well as IPsec.
they can be, well, challenging to set up. Put OpenVPN at each end: it isn't that hard to get working (and you're more likely to get help if you really need it).
Well it's all on the back burner now as (see other posting) I've found that I can rather easily do what I want with two ssh tunnels.
