You do not say what Win version, but XP has native ipsec and I have used
SSHSentinal trial version (maybe no longer available) to VPN a Win98se box
on dialup to freeswan (ipsec) on Linux connected via adsl. But a hole
needs to be opened in the Linux firewall (by root) for the ipsec
connection (which can be done with from freeswan related scripts).

It may be easier to use ssh with port forwarding to just tunnel specific
ports (does not require root access on remote server). But I have not
tried ssh port forwarding with a Windows ssh client like Putty. Instead I
connected ssh Linux2Linux with gatewayed ports so I could connect a Win
terminal client on my end to HP3000 (computer) on distant LAN.
