Starting from kernel 2.5.49 IPSec went into the tree: if you need 
encryption and authentication that could be a solution (probably better 
than freeswan, since the later was not considered for inclusion into the 
kernel). I don't need them, so I'm sticking with plain gre tunnels and 
linux-2.4.20

for more information on tunnels and vpn you may have a look at 
http://lartc.org (linux advanced routing and traffic control) and ask in 
their meailing list.
The howto explains in details how to setup a secure vpn using the kernel 
support.
hope this can help.
