I would really like to find a Linux VPN solution that is both secure and
easy to configure (not requiring a kernel recompile).  Which is why I'd
like something other than FreeS/WAN.

The above article rules out CIPE and VTUN because of weak security.

Does anyone have an opinion on how OpenVPN rates on security?

I emailed the author of the above article with the same question(s) 
I'm asking here.  I can report back _if_ he answers me.
