What VPN *server* software is there for OS X?
I want/need to run a VPN server on my Mac but I don't have a clue as to what's available. I'd prefer to get one that's compatible with the PPTP protocol, but I've had no luck finding anything. I did fine the open-source OpenVPN, but it uses it's own OpenVPN protocol, which means I need to run their OpenVPN client on all the machines that connect to the server (which is doable, but I'd rather not). Anyone know of any potential solutions?

2. I was thinking about getting OS X Server
But it's a little out of my price range at the moment. Anyway I'd rather get an Xserve which comes with the server software bundled with it, but that's a future purchase. Really, the only reason I want VPN is so that I can play World of Warcraft through the corporate firewall at work. The cheaper VPN solutions are definitely preferable.

3. You do need OS X server...
Never had a use for it so I can't give advice though.

4. Here's some links for various apps
I don't know where you have searched.

http://osx.hyperjeff.net/Apps/apps.php?ft=0&f=vpn

http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?keywords=vpn&os=all&button.x=15&button.y=12
I noticed that there is a GUI for OpenVPN.


Type in VPN at this site
http://www.versiontracker.com/
I have a paid account there so my links may not work for you.
