Hi!
Yes, ipsec can do that, and is probably a bit easier to configure for so
many users.
I´ve used SuperFreeS/WAN on Linux to handle multiple windows users.
It works great, however, it can not bridge the connections, so you have
to use a seperate ip subnet for your wireless clients.
And... The build-in support for ipsec in Win2K/XP is really a mess to
configure, so I recommend a commersial VPN client like SSH Sentinell.
I havn´t read anything about what is the practical maximum of bridged
openvpn users. Theoretically I think it should work with 50 users. Just
create 50 tap interfaces and bridge them with eth1, and start 50 instances
of openvpn, with one config file for each.
I think it would be really interesting to here how well that work. I´m
currently
running such a setup, but with only 5 users and that works great.
A good thing with such a config is that you can have independent
iptables rules for each user as the traffic comes from a pre-defined
tap interface.

Thank you for your help.
Is ipsec can do that ? if not , is there a simple solution to secure a wlan
with many workstation (~ 50 ) connected througt wireless ( more secure than
WEP )?
