OpenVPN amongst others. Cross platform support (GNU/Linux, Windows,
Mac,...). Does what it claims to do. Easy to set up (once you read the
docs a couple of times). Example configuration files. Works well.

Yes. I'm using OpenVPN right now, to send this message. I'm using WiFi to
connect my notebook to my home network and have it configured so that I
have to use the VPN to get through my firewall. Many distros include
OpenVPN.

Plenty.

For the gory details of different Linux VPNs, there is a book:

Freeswan it's not the only project, but surely it's the
most mature and the best. I agree completely.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
