first hit on google, as I said, it might be enough, I just don't trust 
it and have nothing to base this on right now, other than general 
industry practices where security is a factor, e.g. banking.

I like that idea - don't limit yourself, you only have to configure your 
m0n0wall once. Leave your options open, and set yourself a priority 
list. Basically, the three VPNs mentioned use three different 
approaches, and one of them is sure to get through whatever firewall the 
client is behind.
