Administrators and consultants can easily create multiple Secure Desktops which can also be

Ok, now VPN Tracker gets *2* stars - 1 more than before. Why? Because they managed to get a Mac OSX Lion version out & running. Yes running without kernel panics!

Still, way to expensive for what it does. Now they even sell some important features at a $100 "Pro" version. WTF? Upgrade prices? Forget it!

I bought the second upgrade. So basically I paid three times for a software that caused a lot of kernel panics on my computer. Now I am using IPsecuritas - a free product that works painlessly for months.

Equinux, I never see any free updates to your products. Bugfixing seems to be always part of a new paid update.

Cannot recommend the company, neither the product.

With VPN Tracker 5 i had *never* problems. But now, with VPN Tracker 6, 1-3 times a week: kernelpanic

I have contacted the support, will see how they will support me.

Trsut me on this one: Hell of a buggy product for way too much money. Only corporates would buy this. And that seems to be their target market.

We are running IPsecuritas now for 12 months with no issues at all.

I bought VPN Tracker Pro 5, I think it was $200. Well worth it. But they are charging $160 for this upgrade. Why so much? Given that they already announced that VPN Tracker 5 is compatible with Snow Leopard, why would I need this upgrade?

Expensive but well-written and excellent support. Highly recommended if you play/work with a variety of VPN hardware.

I bought it and it never did the job. I sent ticket, reports, all that the developper asked me to send, I tried different configurations, even different routers. Nothing works. Finally, I tried IPSecuritas which is absolutely FREE, and guess what, it WORKS for the first try. So I gave a last chance to VPN 5 and entered again the exact same settings, I have in IPSecuritas and nothing work again. I decided to stay with IPSecuritas. I asked for a refund and they said NO because I bought the soft for more than one month. I spent more than one month to toubleshoot it. I'm really disappointed. I learned something, ALWAYS TRY BEFORE YOU BUY

I really like the new interface of version 5 and it's speed for starting the connection. Way nicer than the cisco client. I just wish there was a menu item where you could start the connection from, so you didn't even have to start the app.
My company bought a bunch of licenses and everyone loves it.

I have been using this program for the last 2 years and it has worked flawlessly. I have been part of the beta for version 5 and have to say it is great. I have had 1 or 2 problems in the beginning (2 years ago with a watchguard), but that was solved on the mailing list. I cannot understand the bad ratings below. The documentation is fine for me and i haven't had any problems.
Interface is really nice now. I have tried other clients, but none was this easy and worked "out of the box".
Price is a bit high though...

This may be a good VPN server/client combo, but VPN Tracker has utterly piss-poor documentation. You'd think they'd at least give you a decent walkthrough for connecting VPN Tracker Client to VPN Tracker Server, but you get an ancient version of that guide from version 2.x. I have tried for hours to get these two working and cannot get them to connect. The demo cutting the service off every three minutes only adds to the frustration. If this software actually had good documentation, I could recommend it, but the fact remains that these idiots can't even keep their manuals current, so how can you expect the software to work properly?

Go here:

http://www.equinux.com/us/products/support.html?pid=2

and click on the link there that asks the question "Are your products compatible with Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard)?"

You'll find this info:

"VPN Tracker 4 is not compatible with Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard), and due to fundamental changes in the operating system, we will not be able to patch this version. However, we have just entered the beta phase for VPN Tracker 5, and intend to invite a couple of current users of VPN Tracker 4 to test the new version. If you're interested in using VPN Tracker 5 on Leopard (or on any other supported system), please apply at this website."

Yeah, thanks for responding! Yes, I checked the site and saw that now. :-D I just purchased the product on october 1 so I'm looking forward to the upgrade. I also applied for the beta program but I could also wait for version 5. Hopefully it will be soon.

VPN tracker reset all references to our company domains to IPs that are relevant only when you are connected. It didn't release them on disconnect. Uninstalling didn't work nor did the company's uninstall application. A diligent search for preferences, etc. doesn't reveal where the problem lies. Requests for tech support from the company have not been answered and the company rarely is available to answer phone calls. They also don't return phone messages. Use this product with caution. If it works for you that's great, but if it doesn't you may have some real difficulty.
