I agree with Godwin. I use OpenSwan for multiple VPN connections.
Performance is very good. I use an 850MHz single processor machine as
the concentrator and some dual processor 550MHz machines on the other
ends of a certain links. I also have some CISCO gear on the other ends
of other links.

I've got my setup to auto-build of the connections and we use a PSK.
Literally, there is little any stability issues nor any communication
issues.

I also have VPN to my private remote cloud VMs... perfectly capable
using OpenSwan.

I'd forgo the Linksys POSs and just dump a cheap Linux machine on each
end of the links.
