Amazing VPN software for OSX

I hate most of the VPNs out there; unfortunately most of the time, each single firewall/router/whatever requires a particular client software which is of course incompatible with its cousins.

I was about to create the usual Windows virtual machine to use a new amazing VPN client required by one of my customers, then I discovered a little gem for OSX called VPN Tracker Professional.

So far I managed to connect my MacBook to more than ten different VPNs, and I can’t believe how it works well; it’s not cheap, but if you need to manage many connections be sure to check out the trial version.

Another good alternative is IPSecuritas (free); if you want to try it out alongside VPN Tracker, I advise you to unload the VPN Tracker kernel extension, as simple as:

su kextunload -b com.equinux.VPNTracker

The VPN Tracker kernel extension will be reloaded at the next program launch.
