For many systems administrators, choosing and managing a VPN system is often quite a headache. Inflexible clients, servers, and protocols often prevent VPN's from being smoothly integrated into an already functioning network. The fact that many VPN clients are installed on users' home computers, well out of the reach of the systems administration team, often means that troubleshooting and upgrading VPN systems is time consuming and a struggle for both admins and users.

How does OpenVPN compare to IPSec when it comes to re-establish a broken tunnel (say 1 of the boxes loses connection to Net for 1/2 hour).
Compare to PPTP, IPSec is fantastic as you dont't to worry
about re-establishing the link. IPSec does it automatically, unlike PPTP. Does OPenVPN automatically re-establish the link?
And how to long does it take to establish it?
