Could I ask for or get everyones opinion that VPN features are required in core 4. I think it is the one major function that is missing from the software is a good vpn server that can be used as a gateway into remote networks and although connections from linux clients would be best - it would be possible to connect to it from windows.

With a little bit of work, it also fulfills the "Works for Windows clients" requirement. Probably someone with this need also can put together an installer (msi or another) to do the dirty work. Hopefully 2.0 will be ready by FC4, because that'll be a huge leap in scalability and easier configuration for a larger number of clients.
