This is a good point; there are many kinds of VPNs. Not all use IPSEC
either, and a big new trend is the "SSL VPN" where SSL support is integral
to a product, and TCP connections are tunneled inside SSL. Kind of like
Stunnel, only native in the app. Is there a particular VPN you're looking
at, or are you asking in general?
