I have been using PoPToP (pptpd) to provide a secure VPN to my LAN through my FC5 gateway/fierwall. But I understand that ipsec is considered much more secure.

So I read up and saw that Fedora Core 5, with its 2.6.x kernel, supports ipsec out of the box.

So I googled for a reasonable HOWTO for the native ("netkey") ipsec support, but couldn't find anythnig even remotely comprehensive and clear, and all gave examples using all sorts of 3rd party toold which in theory should no longer be required.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

TIA,

Lavie
