i recently picked up a wireless AP and I've been trying to set it up on my network as securely as possible. i've got it on it's own interface from my gateway which is pretty much isolated from everything else. i'd like to (eventually) set it up to allow network access only through a VPN but I'm not completely sure what my choices are as far as VPNs go. PPTP is easy enough to set up, and allows easy access to linux & windows clients, but AFAIK it's not a very secure solution. IPSEC would seem to be a more secure choice, but the inter-OS compatibility seems limited and it seems nearly impossible to get running. do i have any other options for VPNs which are secure, and allow for at least decent compatibility? I'm using Slackware 9 on the gateway and any potential clients. I appreciate any input as i'd like to be doing something with this AP other than having it sit there blocked off from almost everything.
