Scratch everything I said below. After reading what little documentation there is on FreeLAN, which isn't much, it looks like just another VPN solution like all the rest with nothing really special about it. The configuration looks different and it is interesting, but I don't see anything that makes it special, and the products claims of superiority over others seem unfounded.

I just happen to be here doing my first OpenVPN implementation this last few days.

It appears that FreeLAN is all about transparent bridging VPN, rather than routing VPN. Thus, the "LAN" part of the FreeLAN product name is particular apt.

It is noteworthy that the words "Ethernet" and "bridging" are absent from the product FAQ. This is most unfortunate.
