I'm using OpenVPN (http://www.openvpn.org), and I'm very happy with it.
It's simple to set up (*much* simpler than IPSEC), and it has so far
been reliable for me. Since it uses SSL for encryption, it is easy to
find hardware encryption acceleration; eg newer Via Epia systems have
some crypto hardware built into the CPU which is supported by FreeBSD
and delivers superb performance at little cost: those boards are cheap,
and they use very little power.

For even smaller VPN gateways, A soekris box (http://www.soekris.com)
with a vpn acceleration add-on card ought to work fine as well.

Cheers
Benjamin
