It seems not to be compatible with Lion...
It hangs when the App Store is working... :(

Shimo fires up, says its connected to my office's Cisco VPN system, and even gets me an IP address that I know to be in the range of the system at the office. But nothing works. Web browsing -- whether intranet sites for which I need the vpn, or external sites on the greater internet -- never open. It's almost like it has no idea where to look for the DNS information.
A waste of $12.99 that I pretty much only spent because of Shimo's integration with Keychain (OS X Lion's built-in VPN client works flawlessly with the work system, but requires my password every time. I bought Shimo primarily so I wouldn't have to enter it).
Oh, well.

I tried to quickly to see how the Racoon/IPSec performed on a Netgear FVS 338 in comparison to IPSecuritas (free).
It performed equally as well.
I have to say the support is very slow. I realise it is only Fabian on his own - but it took 4 days for him to acknowledge my question on the form regarding Forcing all VPN traffic over the VPN

I rewrote it.
The question was never answered.

However without the ability to "send all traffic over VPN" it is not option for my purposes.

Snow Leopard now has Cisco VPN option built-in so may not be required if you are happy with Apple's implementation of VPN connections.

I love the Hamachi integration as well.
My only desire is for a more well rounded SSH tunnel handler. I keep all my tunnels in .ssh/config, using shortcuts to fire them off and it works well. Shimo doesn't pay any attention to your ssh-agent or any ssh configurations, so if you want to replace terminal for your tunnel management you'll have to maintain .ssh/config and Shimo.. Shimo doesn't make use of the ssh-agent, so I don't even bother using it for ssh functions.
All that aside, I couldn't be happier with this product. It is a great replacement for CiscoVPN & Hamachi, 2 clients I use daily.

We occasionally get Kernel Panics when using the Cisco VPN Client, and it seems to be the Kernel Extensions from Cisco that's causing it... :(
Both on Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.5..

I you are on a run-of-the-mill VPN, chance is that you will be happy, even totally excited with Shimo.
Good idea & concept, if fully implemented Shimo will be great.
Now i hoped Shimo will solve this problem - but after a test there are still network problems.
Filetransfer to a local file server (WIN 2003 Server) is very slow. Saving files from Photoshop to the fileserver is also slow and sometimes the files are destroyed.
If i cancel the connection, all works fine. Also OSX 10.5. runs without problems.
If i understand right, Shimo is just a GUI that uses the Cisco-Engine. Is there any chance that Shimo will become a standalone VPN client with its own engine?
I'm new to this arena (MAC) that is... and I was using Hamachi with PC's now we have MAC's and a so called workstation that we use as a server....
Now, with Shimo, is it possible to use it with Hamachi?
On the short end... what is the best way to VPN to my "server" when I'm not in the office?
Thanks all in advanced!!!
