IPsecuritas VPN Client

author: Michael Dale ·

The IPsecuritas website is back online with two new versions (A Universal Version of 2 and a new Beta 3 version).


IPsecuritas is a great free VPN Client for the Mac and is what we use to connect them to our Netscreen VPN.


Unfortunately their website not longer works (is gone?) and it has become hard to get the the software.


I've decided to mirror Version 3b6. This version seems to the latest out. It is a Universal Binary and although in beta, is very stable on my macbook.

Awesome Dale. Mac OS X has a built-in VPN client, though. I constantly have to VPN into work, from my Mac at home.

Is this software better? Just curious, cuz I use VPN a lot, and open for ideas.

The built in VPN client only does L2TP over IPsec and PPTP. It doesn't do pure IPsec (well it can, via command line) which is what is used where I work.

If you're after an awesome vpn client get VPN tracker, but it costs about $US80.

IPsecuritas is probably the best free IPsec client I've found for mac.

Hi guys,

the website is back up again. And there is even a new Beta out!

There are some nice features:
- IPSecuritas Widget
- Wizard
- Menu Bar Item

I am impressed! Let's hope the website will stay up now! I do not want to buy VPN Tracker, when there is a free tool which is so much nicer :-)

Hi,

Just found this link on a search.

I've successfully configured IPSecuritas (v3.4) to connect my Macbok to a remote site.

The green light is lit but no traffic flows. I've seen many posts on various sites citing similar problems.

I'm running OS X10.6.8

Is there a rule I can apply to get traffic flowing. I simply want to push all traffic via the VPN.

I'd appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks.
