  Correct, just the client.

Goncalo,

Thank you for your response. Just to clarify, the only changes you needed
to make we're in the Shrew Soft client, not in the Cisco security appliance?

Hi Evan,

I'm using Shrew Soft VPN as a substitute for the Cisco VPN client for since
early this month and so far, I don't regret it. The Cisco client is far
more invasive, so this one feels much more natural.

Regarding the .pcf file, you can import it directly.

I only had issues with phase 2 negotiation, though, it was a different VPN.
In my case I had to change the following settings

Client
NAT Traversal: force-rfc   (this one was already set)

Phase 1
Exchange Type: aggressive
DH Exchange: group 2

Phase 2
Transform Algorithm: esp-aes
Transform Key Length: 128
HMAC Algorithm: md5
PFS Exchange: group 2
Compress Algorithm: disabled

Cheers
