You should be able to use VPNGate in Linux or BSD with the .ovpn available for download. Instructions are very easy:

1) Install OpenVPN

2) Type "man openvpn"

To use on Debian and *buntu's (Kubuntu etc...)

run synaptic

select the openvpn package AND ONE of the following depending on your X DE

network-manager-openvpn-<nameofX_DE>

KUbuntu needs:

network-manager-openvpn-kde

or you can use Konsole and do

sudo apt-get install openvpn network-manager-openvpn-kde

Once you have the openvpn package installed

from Konsole:

sudo openvpn --config /home/<username>/nameoftheVPNGatefileforserver.ovpn

This will start up your VPNGate with OpenVPN.

ADVANCED USERS:
You can create a file with the VPNGate user pass info, set it for root access only and pass it automatically to OpenVPN. Requires editing the *.ovpn file to pass this file.

If you need more let me know.
