I'm wondering what would be the best vpn solution for a linux server with windows, linux, and osx clients. I'm currently using openvpn but I find it difficult to set up and the windows client has given me more headaches than manually setting up a mailserver for the first time.
I have specific requirements for the clients. Some clients need to send their traffic through the vpn (laptops). Others only need to be able to be seen on the vpn but shouldn't be sending their traffic through the vpn (like the web server).
I would like to be able to use the Windows and OSX built in vpn clients if possible.
Are there other options available other than openvpn or am I doing something horribly wrong with openvpn?

OpenVPN is great. The client is not built into the OS though but I guess you can work that out. And its activly maintained so you can be sure that it will continue to work on all three OSs. If you could please add the problems you are having with openVPN? We have set up our VPN so we can do printing at home or remote connect to all our servers without them having to have any ports open to the public.
