[Openswan Users] Slashdot Article

[David Prestwich]

I was somewhat disappointed to read so many negative opinions on 
freeswan regarding the slashdot article yesterday.  It was as if people 
were saying that freeswan is dead - yet in my opinion it has just begun 
thanks to the openswan project.

I just wanted to thank all the developers involved in the openswan 
project.  We've been using freeswan for close to two years now and have 
yet to find any off the shelf product that comes close to its 
scalability.  We've just begun moving all servers to openswan and 
couldn't be happier.  I can't even begin to tell people the number of 
times we have worked with another network admin that has no idea what is 
going on with their router and with the help of freeswan an it's logs 
we've not only fixed the connection but have found a bug in another 
major providers firewall (insert NG here).  Our company connects to 
multiple sites with several different vendors.  We know for a fact that 
if we had an off the shelf product we wouldn't be able to accomplish 
this type of diversity.

Thanks to all
