I don't like the standard VPN server on Windows for some reason, and I'm searching for the best client/server application in order to create a virtual private network.
I don't care if the application has its own technology.
How can I set up a virtual private network on Windows?

Try OpenVPN. It works with all OS's.

We're using OpenVPN with great success. The OpenVPNGui works well for our Windows clients, and it is quite a bit less "system intrusive" than traditional IPSEC clients (e.g. Cisco) – palehorse – 2009-11-24T15:45:22.827

Another vote for OpenVPN; especially OpenVPN Portable as it allows you to distribute a VPN client that does not require installation for Windows users - just unzip and go.
Other attractive features:
- Per-User routing/DHCP configurations (for example, push routes to some users and not others)
- RSA Certificate authentication
- Toggle client-to-client communications
- Firewall friendly

1hamahchi is NOT a real VPN solution it Will NOT connect the rest of his network like a real VPN can do. IE access to the local network of the remote system above and beyoned the connected server – mike – 2009-11-24T15:42:50.273
On the other hand, if it applies it's the simplest solution. – harrymc – 2009-11-24T16:40:49.767
