Linksys EtherFast BEFVP41 Router

Cons: no vpn client software included.

Review: I've done a lot of research on this unit. I bought it with the idea that I would set it up for roaming users and its not that it cant do that but it doesnt do that well. If you want to setup the vpn in windows without extra software it is possible but ...
