Hi Greg,
The problem with SOHO and other proprietary IPSec VPN protocols is they
require pre-shared keys, which are subject to XAUTH attacks and in
general sUX0rs. That's why I always get a kick when folks hammer on that
the Cisco VPN is more secure. That's a load of ******.
Anyhow, you can use pre-shared keys if you must, or you can use PPTP.
Rainbow tables can break 14 char passwords pretty quick now. Try 16+
char plus passwords with your PPTP connections and you'll be OK for
awhile.
HTH,
Tom

I used L2TP in the past and I wasn't able to find a personal router that
would correctly support the protocol. I tested several that claimed to
support it but they didn't work (Linksys, Netgear and Motorola). Do you
have any recommendations?
