Apparently the thing being blocked here is VPN, encrypted network traffic between 2 hosts/networks. This does not appear to be blocking Masquerading hosts, just VPN. So the people with 5 boxes in their house going through one Linux box are still fine. (I think)
Using this at our site to do VPN with several other Linux boxen. It's IPSec compliant, so PGPNet, W2K, and others have all been noted to work with it. It's a pretty good solution.
