However, if the VPN is IPSec (i.e., not SSL), the InJoy VPN client should work (I recently purchased an InJoy license specifically to test this, but have not had the time to devote to picking through the configuration files in the absence of a good How-To for connecting InJoy to Astaro's IPSec (which is based on Openswan, I believe). So, the quick answer to your question, in two parts, is: SSL (OpenVPN) - no. IPSec (Openswan / FreeS/WAN) - probably.
