There are a lot and I mean a lot of folks out there that are a little more than perturbed with Check Point and their perceived heel dragging. Leopard has been out now for a couple months and still no news on the Secure Client VPN software for the latest iteration of Mac OS X. Earlier Check Point attempted to point to Apple as the reason for the delay citing a shifted release date. That answer didn’t hold water with, well, anyone. Now the grumbling is rising to something more than a din.
So, what is one to do? No, not roll over to Vista. There is an alternative that a reader, Tim, was good enough to point me to. IPSecuritas is a free, yes free, VPN client that is Leopard ready.
From Lobotomo Software:
IPSecuritas is the most advanced, yet free IPSec client for Mac OS X. It supports virtually every available IPSec compliant firewall, allowing you to connect safely to your office or home network from any location on earth.
Give a whirl. Did I mention that it was free?
