EasyVPN is an interface for the standards based VPN Server that is included in Mac OS X. Apple provides an interface for OS X Server but not for regular OS X.
EasyVPN provides a similar, yet simple interface to fully configure the VPN Server.
Simple to use?
I can't find any documentation on how to set it up. No manual. The program is downloaded as a .zip file, and there is no manual that I can find. Also no instructions on the website.
No wonder this app is only $5, it's basically a copy of iVPN! iVPN used to be free and open source on sourceforge. Before the developer started charging for it, iVPN was at version 2.4 beta i think. I know because I used it. If you look at the log messages from this app and compare them with iVPN version 2.4 beta, they're almost identical! HA! The only thing they seemed to have changed is the interface and they've added support for multiple user accounts. Also, the trial version isn't really a trial version...they stop you from starting the VPN server at boot, but all you need to do is copy some files from the app bundle and then the server will start automatically. You'd think if you were gonna copy someone else's app, you'd at least make an effort to hide that fact. Also, on a side note, I remember the source code for iVPN being BSD licensed, however, the developer doesn't seem to mention anywhere that they used this original source code. Hmmm...lawsuit? =/
I was looking to use this as an alternative to iVPN. However, I've hit a problem:
- On first launch, the app refused to activate the VPN settings - the 'ON' button quickly reverted back to 'OFF'.
- The log file could not be read, since the vpn log file had not been created.
- After quitting and re-launching, it's now impossible to progress past the shareware 'nag' screen - the Continue button does nothing, so the trial cannot be continued.
App looks handy... if I could trial it successfully...
