If you are located in Spain, you can get only the version of FW-1 with
weak encryption algorithms. US export restrictions do not allow for real
encryption to be exported from US.

I would suggest you have a look at F-Secure VPN software, made by Data
Fellows in Finland (http://www.datafellows.fi/f-secure/), which is one of
the few (if not the only) really strong VPN software products available in
Europe (or Africa/Asia etc).
