[Discuss] OpenSWAN VPN

[Matt Shields]

Routing table looks good, on both sides I can see the other's routes in my
routing table and it shows the correct next hop.

I'd much prefer OpenVPN, that's what we normally use for both employees and
clients.  I even have it linked to Active Directory, plus custom rules when
they log in.  But this client doesn't want to setup a host for OpenVPN on
their side, they *only* use ipsec VPN's.
