VPN resources

The Virtual Private Network Consortium maintains a list of its members, a table of IPsec VPN features supported by each vendor, and a table of SSL VPN features supported by each vendor. VPNC also supplies SimpleCA, a free, open-source certificate authority package for VPN administrators.

The Interop show runs in Las Vegas in the spring and New York in the fall, and usually attracts a wide range of VPN vendors and experts.
