[vpn-help] Mac OS X support (Matti Haveri)

[Mark Verhyden]

Hi Matti,

There is a free VPN client for OS X called IPSecuritas (www.lobotomo.com) that has all of the settings needed to connect to real routers.  I've used it on both Netgear and Cisco routers with no problems.  One thing I really like about it is that you can lock the client config so no one can see the settings.  So the EU just downloads and installs the config and then imports the config using a install password.  The config can be unlocked but it is a different password that you have set.  I've rolled it out to a health care company so their therapists can access the server.

Regards

Mark Verhyden
