I've used IPsec with racoon on Kernel 2.6.x successfully. It's
described e.g. at http://www.fw-1.de/aerasec/

I've the problem, that connections with NAT are not working. On
03/31/2005 I've wrote the followed text to this list, but nobody was
answering.

It's working fine, if the Linux client has a direct internet connection.
If the Linux VPN client is behind a NAT router, it's not working.

SecuRemote Clients are using UDP encapsulation in that cases. Is UDP
encapsulation available on Linux, or is anybody using Linux as VPN
client _behind_ a NAT router and give me some hints to use it?
