Product Description:

VaporSec an IPSec GUI client that will allow you to create incredibly secure connections between OS X 10.2 machines or between your machine and third party firewalls using the built-in IPSec capabilities of OS X 10.2.

This has currently been tested between OS X 10.2 machines and with a SonicWall firewall. We're actively looking for situations where this doesn't work so that we can tweak the code. We are also looking for people interested in helping us make this better.

What's new in this version:

Now uses main mode instead of aggressive which should provide better compatability.
Now remembers associations between launches and can recreate them at boot and when changing locations.
Many interface improvements.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

Mac OS X 10.2 or higher

Absolutely useless - Version: 1.0, 4/22/2004 05:50AM PST

I like and respect those guys from afp548.com but with all due respect, this VaporSec thing is totally useless.

I launched it and it starts making noise as if I was holding down a key on the keyboard for too long overflowing the keystroke buffer. This goes on for about a minute and then it opens a window that says "AppleScript Error". Then next thing that happens is a dialog box that asks me to "enter your admin password".

Well, so what's my admin password then? How do I set the initial password? where is the default password documented?

I checked out the .rtfd manual but it says nothing in this respect.

Sorry, but this is in such a poor state this shouldn't have been released yet.

I rather spend the time setting a VPN tunnel up myself on the commandline, it's time consuming yes, but it won't be a waste of time like this VaporSec thingy.

Manual...? - Version: 1.0, 9/21/2003 12:47PM PST

I guess it's nice, but there is no manual or how-to for this software.

Great, flexible software... Essential for anyone needing VPN access - Version: 1.0, 6/12/2003 12:46PM PST

Can't say enough good about this software. Big upgrade from version .9, that allows for custom configurations without editing the racoon.conf manually. Developer support is also top notch. Although this is just a GUI to the built-in VPN software, it makes it much easier to use. The only feature I would request is some sort of VPN status indicator for each VPN.

This software is one of my must have applications.
