Looks like there -was- Netlock and TunnelBuilder
but neither seems to be available now; Netlock seems to have
died, and Efficient.com was bought by Siemens.

There was also PGPNet, which apparently had a freeware version.
PGPNet became "McAfee VPN Client". Network Associates
sold the PGP line in 2002 but kept the McAfee VPN Client.
But it seems to have disappeared as well.

As it appears, "netlock" is the key word.
It can be obtained from Apani Networks for $95 (free trial available):

A weird thing about this program is that it's managed through
web browser. And it's rather limited compared with Cisco VPN
client for OSX - just pure IPSec, no NAT-T, nor TCP encapsulation.


Was is IPSec client, or L2TP (or anything else)?

1. MAC OS X using Cisco VPN Client through CISCO PIX 501 

Hi,

I have a bit of an issue driving me completely nuts here...

I have a small home network using a Catalyst 1900 switch, PIX 501 and
Window and Mac OS X laptops.

All computers have the latest update in regards to OS's and Cisco VPN
Client, and my PIX config allows any any connection to inside interface
 (access-list inside_out permit ip any any)

Now, I can connect to my office's PIX using the windows laptop just
fine, but when I try it with the MAC OS X, I do connect but no traffic
passes through, and on top of it internet access o the mac dies
instantly (there is a split tunnel allowing users to have internet
while connected to the office's vpn)

More mind bending (to me anyway) is that if the MAC is connected
directly into the cable modem WORKS liek a charm, so it must be
something with the PIX and MAC thing..... I've tried changing the MTU
on the MAC laptop, but no luck.

Thanks,

Julian Dragut

5. Very slow VPN with VPC 7.0.2/Mac + Cisco VPN Client 

There seems to be a huge data 'bottleneck' with my Win2K Pro Virtual Machine
under VPC 7.0.2 on a 1.67 MHz MAC Powerbook when communicating with a remote
NT server via Cisco VPN Client over Roadrunner.

Data throughput crawls at 1.5K Tx-Rx.  It takes 60-90 seconds to make any
network action happen, such as opening a server folder.  I double click on a
folder, and must wait from 60-90 seconds, before the folder's contents
appear.

Whereas, files seem to copy to/from the server using copy/paste, at a more
acceptable 35K-45K.

I've tried disconnecting all mapped drives, and turning off virus software,
with no effect.  Help!

7. Problems with Cisco VPN Client 4.7.x for Mac OS X 

Have just installed the latest VPN client 4.7.x on a couple of Macs
running OS X Tiger.
Seems that now the VPN isn't receiving the domain suffix as pushed by
the PIX. This means that the users have to be told to explicitly add
the companies domain suffix to any of the host names within the
company. 
This wasn't the case under previous versions of the client.
