I was asking because it looks very simplified, and I'm not sure VPN configuration is always that simple. So I was wondering if anybody had any real experience with it yet.
All you can choose is a secret phrase and a range of IP addresses. In the docs, they suggest you use a different range of IP addresses than your network uses. I guess you would have to forward that range from your router to the vpn server.
I imagine there's enough there to get a mac client running LION to connect to a mac server running LION, so at least that's something.

Like pdxer said, getting a VPN running is very hard,time consuming, and expensive. The easiest way is to utilize a free service like LogMeIn Hamachi.
And you can reach it from a remote PC or Mac, too, and there is a pay client for the iPad and iPhone.
