I'm doing straight IPsec. The Android devices have a combo L2TP/IPsec VPN function. They also have a PPTP function, but that quit working with my router after Honeycomb (Android 3.x).

I was using the PPTP server function for one of my remote workers, but it was unstable and would cause the router to reset a few times a day. So, I endeavored to persevere.

I setup an IPsec client Policy and then worked on configuring the windows client. After that, I worked on configuring the NCP client.

I used to buy "Cisco" stuff. But the "consumer" level stuff would quit working after about a year. And the "Cisco" VPN router I had would not work with my VOIP phone system. I am sure the commercial stuff works fine. But it is pretty darn expensive.

Of course, 20 hours at $150-200/hr is pretty expensive too!
