Hunt for VPN devices

Hate to ask this question here, but I'm a bit stumped - are there any
dedicated VPN devices left on the market?

I used to love the redcreek dedicated vpn devices (before they were acquired
by SonicWall).

These days, seems that all VPN services are either on a firewall or router
box, and I favor architectures which don't really use VPN on either.  Still
stuck on the idea of being able to run and manage VPN separately, and
grouping this functionality on a firewall or router device muddies the
administration for clients, and adds unnecessary functionality, especially
for clients with restricted technical resources.  Additionally, I don't
really like compromising on VPN functionality or firewall functionality, and
multipurpose boxes seem to require either that, or an excessively high cost.

Thanks for any suggestions,

JB.
