What are you using for your VPN solution? What do you think is the best technology? I was thinking about going with OpenVPN (SSL), but there are so many options out there. I am thinking in the perspective of support, easy manageability, and scalability. I checked documentations for OpenVPN (SSL), Free S/WAN (ipsec), and PoPTop (PPTP). I am leaning on OpenVpn, because it will be an easy setup for remote home users. Free S/WAN for site to site connections. PoPtop looks good too, because it will an easy integration with Microsoft servers. What are your suggestions? Thanks again.

If you can stand to do it, to IPSec. Its great, and built in to quite a few products. OpenVPN is nice, but then you have to run around and get OpenVPN installed on everything. PPTP is for "I cant get anything else to work" situations.
