Some (many) community members have expressed interest in an IPsec VPN .. so they can access the VPN from their phones!
'''Please add notes of what you learn'''
We hope to prepare a "one-click" installer for this.
OpenSwan is on open source IPsec server that is an RPM avaialble in Fedora (yum install openswan), and here's a [http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch35_:_Configuring_Linux_VPNs link to a HOWTO] to start using it!
Another good link

''''''NOTE: YOU "MUST" REMOVE OPENVPN BEFORE DOING THIS''''''
To remove OpenVPN do the following command (as root) in terminal:
<code>yum remove openvpn openvpn-server</code>
----------------------------------------------------
To get started:
<tt>yum install openswan ppp x12tpd openssl</tt> (answer yes as required)
-------------------------------------------
Based on http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid39_gci1286413,00.html
-------------------------------------------
create your conf file
<tt>/etc/ipsec.d/yourconf.conf</tt>
get a copy of
<tt>/etc/ipsec.d/examples/no_oe.conf</tt>
[http://www.g-loaded.eu/2005/11/10/be-your-own-ca/ Create your own server certificate]
and follow instructions from this link!
back to yourconf.conf file ... set certificates location
<tt>/etc/pki_jungle/myCA/certs/server.crt</tt>
... ipsec.conf file ready!
<tt>service ipsec start</tt> to start the ipsec server
Still need to :
i. Configuring xl2tpd
ii. Configuring pppd
iii. Launching the VPN
