You might want to look at OpenVPN instead of IPSec.  It's easier to
configure (arguably), works well with clients behind NAT routers, and there
are GUI clients for OS X and the Windows virus.

I presume you all know who I am.  I am humble Abraham Lincoln.  I have been
solicited by many friends to become a candidate for the legistlature.  My
politics are short and sweet, like the old woman's dance.  I am in favor of
a national bank ... in favor of the internal improvements system, and a
high protective tariff. -- Abraham Lincoln, 1832
