I don't like the standard vpn server on windows for some reason and I'm searching for the best client/server application in order to create a Virtual Private Network.

I don't care if the application has it's own technology.

hamahchi is NOT a real VPN solution it Will NOT connect the rest of his network like a real VPN can do. IE access to the local network of the remote system above and beyoned the connected server – mike Nov 24 at 15:42
On the other hand, if it applies it's the simplest solution. – harrymc Nov 24 at 16:40

Try Openvpn Works with ALL OS's.

We're using OpenVPN with great success. The OpenVPNGui works well for our Windows clients, and it is quite a bit less "system intrusive" than traditional IPSEC clients (e.g. Cisco) – palehorse Nov 24 at 15:45

Another vote for openvpn; especially OpenVPN Portable as it allows you to distribute a VPN client that does not require installation for windows users - just unzip and go.

Other attractive features:

  • Per-User routing/dhcp configurations (eg, push routes to some users and not others)
  • RSA Certificate authentication
  • Toggle client-to-client communications
  • Firewall friendly
