for windows, just do l2tp, make sure you have the shared key inserted.
the main advantage i think is the ease of setting up with the softether client.
I tend to use the Softether VPN client on Windows and OpenVPN on OSX.
The client will try it's hardest to punch through firewalls including falling back to VPN over ICMP/DNS
Tunnelblick on OSX, Softether VPN client on Windoze, Softether vpn client on linux
Why Tunneblick on OSX and not the SoftEther client itself?
Because it's an experimental versions and they don't recommend for us to use it
I haven't used it on mac before, but I assume its quite buggy
What they recommend is using the builtin native VPN function of os x and that works ok.
I could never get the damn tap/tun driver to be seen by the OSX client
It really doesn't on some Natted networks that prevent the IPSEC part of the IPSEC/L2TP from working properly, and I'd not want to be using PPTP thesedays, which basically leaves Ovpn and a 3rd party client.
