Lots of fun.  StrongSWAN is the IPSec package that's currently available 
with OpenSUSE.  One might make the case there too many projects 
happening.  It'd be nice if those people would work together and get one 
good package going.

As I mentioned, I have used OpenVPN for years and it worked well, but 
until very recently, it didn't properly support IPv6 and also there's no 
Android version available that I'm aware of.
