I use shorewall to build the firewall for my router rather than the
stock Fedora iptables. Shorewall has configuration options for a few
different types of "tunnel" applications such as pptp and openvpn style
VPNs. I use openvpn with shorewall and it works perfectly. Highly
recommended.

Hi
Thanks for the advice. I assume that you create the vpn tunnel at the
router with your firewall, what I'd like to do is create a tunnel from
a windows xp workstation inside the network. Is that possible, or is
thei a wishlist?
I'm running shorewall on my FC5 linux router box, and openvpn on my
local LAN. The vpn traffic goes through the router and works fine. Works
for the Windows openvpn client too.
