Cisco VPN Client enables customers to establish secure, end-to-end encrypted tunnels to Cisco remote access VPN devices supporting the Unified Client Framework. This thin design, IPSec implementation is available via Cisco.com for use with any Cisco central site remote access VPN product and is included free of charge with the Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator. The client can be pre-configured for mass deployments and initial logins require very little user intervention. VPN access policies and configurations are downloaded from the central gateway and pushed to the client when a connection is established, allowing simple deployment and management as well as high scalability.

ANODES I have found that the VPN client can't

handle a high speed upload from my Mac.

It locks up. Saving very large files from Aquamacs results in the lockup followed

by an NFS panic in Mac OS (10.5.2).

Bummer. (Version 4.9.01.0100)

STAR-AFFINITY Yesterday I got a Kernel Panic when trying to connect... :(

It's the first time this happens though, and I've been using it quite frequently. It's not the most beautiful program, but it has been working fine.

I'm on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.1. (Version 4.9.01.0100)

It's not the first time. Look under RELATED LINKS above and you'll find

However your observation still raises an interesting question I believe. Can we trust a Cisco VPN client that is not obtained directly from Cisco especially given what's at stake - the security of the entire corporate network behind the firewall?

It's my understanding that Cisco don't condone any public third party like this. In fact, I think the hosts may be violating their software license. Cisco themselves are very controlled in their release and only permit download to registered users who have a Cisco Connection Online (CCO) login. See www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/vpnclient-3des

What do others think? Do you trust these other sources that MacUpdate, Softpedia and others link to? Or do you prefer to wait until your sysadmin gets it from the source? (Version 4.9.01.0100)

SYED ALI This software has a known issue. Here it is from CISCO's webpage. Why they won't fix the problem... is beyond me.

Problem: VPN Client on the MAC OS is not able to connect to the VPN 3000 Series Concentrator, and the user receives this message:

reason = PEER_DELETE-IKE_DELETE_FIREWALL_MISMATCH

Cause: This message indicates that the required software firewall is not running on the client PC. You can specify that a software firewall must run on the VPN Client PC in the VPN Concentrator Group Settings. However, only the Windows version of the VPN Client supports this firewall function. All other versions (Mac/Linux/Solaris) of the Cisco VPN Client do not support this firewall function.

Resolution: In order to resolve this issue, verify the firewall settings. Uncheck the Firewall Required option on the Group Settings in the VPN 3000 Concentrator, and try again to connect. (Version 4.9.01.0100)
