If you're looking for a black-box approach to a firewall device, I would
highly recommend Smoothwall. www.smoothwall.org
The GPL version is quite feature laden, and the commercial version
(weighing in at $117.00 USD after conversion) is fabulous. VPN support
(based on FreeSwan) works right out of the box, with a lot of other nice
items such as automatically generated traffic graphs, clients for most
of the popular dynamic dns services, isdn, usb modem support, etc.
